Matching Klipsch Reference and Reference Premiere??

HI, I need expert advice, please!!!

I bought 4 Klipsch R-820F thinking to place them 2 in the front and two as rear speakers. I also bought a Klipsch RP-440C as a center speaker.

I bought all this because of an insane opportunity... "excellent deal"

Now I am reading that it is not a good idea to match/mix Reference (R) and Reference Premiere (RP)?

Would my configuration using the R-820Fs with the RP-440C sound too bad? shall I return the RP-440C to get an R speaker as a center instead?

Thank you so much for all the help and support

I didn't say anything about "aligning" speakers. His question was about if it would be a bad idea to mix different lines of speakers, not what the differences are. They're all in the Klipsch family and it shouldn't be an issue. FWIW, I have a Klipsch center speaker and surrounds and Harbeths and KEFs for my mains and mixing the different brands hasn't caused one second of distress for me.
