Placement is crucial for optimal performance, that's a challenge in an average home setup.
This is especially true with the built in model design.
That's why you are better off using 500SAs, it's more versatile and if it doesn't work well you can use them in a height setup.
Imo a common mistake especially on a tight budget.
People stretch their budget to include Atmos with these alternatives.
Unfortunately this sacrifices overall quality.
You are much better off building a good 5.1(2) setup then move up to Atmos after that. Especially since Atmos works in addition to the core system.
A good 5.1(2) can easily rival these Atmos alternatives when done properly.

You would be hard pressed to hear a $300 sonic difference between them if at all.
I would gamble and say most wouldn't be able to pick out which is which.
If the 500SAs don't work well you have the option to use them in a height position, you do not have that option with these.
That's probably a better option anyways TBH.
BTW if you mean jumping the modules with the fronts, is running them on the same channel.
They are not designed for that and not a good idea imo.

If you're just planning to use them without the modules like ImjustEric.
It will cost you an extra $300 just to say you have the newer gen.
If you plan to use them, you'll still be paying an extra $130 more and if they don't work like you thought, you're struck with them.
The 500s gives you the option to try them in a height position or sell them.
One thing these do have going for them is aesthetics.

Actually I said if you plan to use them.
These are $1099 with modules built in.
The 8000f are $349 each, $700 a pair + $279 a pair for the 500SAs = $980.
Sorry about that, was off by $10.
