Sounds right.
Something else worth thinking about is avoiding s&h costs by picking up the gear in person. I don't know how that works with this company specifically, but usually if you phone in your purchase companies will arrange a date for you to pick 'em up. Not only would you be avoiding the showroom / big store mark-up, you'd be buying "internet direct"
minus the shipping. Can't complain about that.
EDIT: Photon is bang on re: the size of your room and the necessity for a powerful sub.
With mid- and high-frequency speakers, directionality and volume levels go mostly hand and hand - that is to say, you will aim all your speakers towards your listening area and they'll sound fine despite the expanse of an open room around you. With a subwoofer it is more about the total pressure reached within the
entire open room - directionality is much much less important in this case... you gotta have enough oomph!
