Jeff, Don't worry about the lifespan of the 5.1, the Sopia;s sound way better any way.

Just get the Sophia's.

Drrdiamond: I just mentioned the comment about the 5.1 reconing (not sure whether they are foam which typically rot with age or rubber which doesn't) because I've seen a lot of them forsale with upgraded drivers.. I assumed but we all know what that does.... Wilson Quality is amazing when you see how many allen bolts are in the top unit and the amazing finish!

If there isn't a significant cost differential I'd prefer the Sophias. The Sophias are a more refined design than the 5.1s. I feel this shows up most when the system is played quietly. At reduced volume the 5.1s are comparably a trifle colorless and washed out tonally. I also feel that the Sophias perform brilliantly with a variety of medium powered amps, whereas, I have observed that the 5.1s are only at their best with greater amounts of power.

Siliab:I was over to my Wilson dealer.--That be Mr. Brooks Berdan.--He said just about what you said;nearly word for word. I did ask him this very question as I was listening to the Soph. Loved that finish and color.

Avguygeorge,

Well, if you're getting it from Brooks you're getting it straight. He's the best, in my estimation.
