After checking all the reviews for centers (looking for a 3-way) and based on my limited TV stand space, this fits the bill!

In my initial research, I mostly based it on this list where the UC52 is listed pretty well next to some higher priced 3-way centers:
https://www.audioscienc
And also looking at the frequency response curves for both, I figured the UC52 would have a more even response curve that is supposed to be more ideal. The SVS's seems a little wonky in the middle frequencies there and some said it would sound "bright", but I'm not sure what that may mean unless I test both. My Onkyo Receiver has DIRAC Live, so this should help with any other adjustments of the UC52 depending on my living room setup but with probably less correction than the Prime.

SVS Prime data: https://www.audioscienc
Another thing is that when people who had both the SVS Prime and SVS Ultra compared both of them, they said the SVS Ultra was a step better and so I didn't want to put myself in this loop of thinking what if I invested a bit more for the next tier up. Meanwhile, based on these older reviews of the UC52, it's already punching above its weight-class IMO.
Lastly, just for aesthetics, I have a smaller space under the TV in my TV stand and the UC52 would look better under it. I considered the Monoprice Monolith 365C, but that wouldn't fit and the SVS Prime looked similarly a bit out of place.
