Moving up in the REL line of subwoofers

I currently have a set of the REL 812 subs which i am very pleased with.  However i have the audio virus of upgradeitis and am considering replacing them with the REL 212 double decker subs.  Anyone here have experience with that upgrade?

Thanks so much.

Do the line array by added a second set on top of the existing.  There is a pair for sale at a reasonable price in the Atlanta area at the moment.

I second this. I have a REL S/510 six-pack line array, and it’s an amazing experience, with how it opens up the soundstage and adds realism. I started with just a pair, then a four-pack, and now the six-pack. I’d much rather have this (or even just the four-pack) than a pair of bigger subs like the 212.

Also the 212 cannot participate in a line array so that's the end of the line with them.
