FWIW, I had Paradigm Studio 60 v4 fronts and a CC-590 v4 center. I then sold the Studio 60's, kept the CC-590 center, and moved in Dali Helicon 400's MkI for the fronts. Based on all that I had heard and read, I was expecting to be dissapointed with the mismatched fronts/center, but I really wasn't at all. Is it ideal? Probably not but don't automatically assume just because you "upgrade" your fronts you automatically have to plan on a new center channel also. Try it first, and you may be perfectly satisfied with mismatched fronts/center. I would like to eventually get a Helicon 200 center, but I have to say, that the Dali's mate quite will with the Paradigm center.
IMHO, matching the fronts to the center is not nearly as big of an issue as it is constantly made out to be on the forums.
