Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?


I went to audition the Wilson Sabrina at a local shop. I so wanted to love these speakers because of the reviews, price and compact size. Unfortunately, I could not (don't hate me  Sabrina owners). I did, however,  fall in love with the Sasha 2. It seemed to do everything and more that I was looking for and I am hoping this speaker will be a speaker I can live with for a very long time. After thinking about it, I wondered, is the difference between the Sabrina and Sasha 2 smaller or greater than the Sasha 2 and current Alexia? The room has  good acoustics, Mcintosh C50 pre, MC152 amp and as noted above, is very small. Would there be too much bass and overwhelm the room. I have not heard the Alexias and was wondering if any owners or listeners familiar to both can comment on the differences and similarities and give impressions as to how they might work in my small room. I currently own and like very much the  Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 but am looking for more. At this point, I am pretty sure I will go with the Sashas  but am looking for guidance from someone with experience especially since it is very hard to locate the Alexias and hear personally.  Thanks for your opinions

I have owned a pair of Sasha's for several years, having upgraded from Dynaudio Confidence 5's.  I fell in love with Wilson speakers years ago after hearing the WATT Puppy in a dealer showroom, but they were out of my budget at that time.  I spent a lot of time auditioning the Sophia vs Sasha and went for the Sasha's due to better bass control and soundstaging.  

I was able to hear the Alexia's at the NY Audio Show when they first came out and thought that they did everything the Sasha's did but better and more of it.  If I had the dough, I would upgrade in a second!
