4 Velodyne HGS-15's or 2 Velodyne HGS-18's?

Given this choice, which route, and why, would you go?
Building a theater and will either go with a pair of HGS-18s on either side of the center, and on the insides of the outter speakers, OR 4 HGS-15s. They would be placed in the same position, but 2 HGS-15s would be stacked on each other!

Thoughts?

For what it is worth, a single 15 would probably be sufficient for the room, but isn't 75% of what we buy overkill anyway?

Thanks for the insight.

I'm using 3 HGS-18s across the front of my main theatre. I tried the 15s as well. I highly recommend the 18s over the 15s for a more literally 'stunning' result. Was using M&K 5000s and 350s. The 350s are on the sides and rear channels now and the 5000s are in the master bedroom system. Room tuning/treatment became more critical with the larger driver Velodynes than the M&K dual 12" design.
