The OHMs and Gallos are the two that will probably sound most similar. IMHO, the OHMs are superior. They are more like Quad Electrostats but with more dynamics and bass. The Gallos have the dynamics and bass but do not compare to Quads (I've heard both together in A/B comparison and the Gallos sounded very fine...until I heard the Quads then no comparison). If you are considering ML also, then between Gallo and OHm I think I would definitely go OHM, Should cost less as well for your room I believe even.
I am not a ML (specifically electrostatic/dynamic hybrid designs) fan but that is just a matter of taste.
Haven't heard the Zus but the design appears more like the Totems you indicate you liked.
So if it were me, either OHM and ML for the most contrast between the two or OHM and Zu for two that may sound somewhat more like each other.
I have larger OHM 100s in a 12X12 room and they are a perfect fit. Smaller MWTs in a slightly smaller room should be a good fit also. OHM 100s new go for about $1800 I believe and would still fit your budget. Mine are used 100 series 3s (in OHM Walsh 2 cabinets) that I picked up for only $600 here on A'gon about 2 years ago!
