I don't know about the ones you posted, but they were more expensive and I am using mine for Front Highs in the theatre and ambient music upstairs on the main floor, so didn't see the need to pay extra for fancier speakers. These seemed closer in power-handling and characteristics to the other in-walls mentioned above that I was using so I figured I would do that instead of going for the composite 3-ways to try and match everything somewhat.
+1 for these as in-ceiling rear speakers. I am sure audio purists might get their panties in a not about using un-matched rear speakers however I used these in conjunction with my Aperion towers and center speakers and they sound just fine for movies and surround. They are definitely passable SQ wise and the price is hard to beat.

The tipping point for me was the pivoting tweeters that gave me a bit of placement flexibility.
