I definitely understand about wanting to keep your girl happy!
I will say this though - There's no difference to speak of. They both have about the same "footprint" in your room.
I might suggest that you make your decision based on the woofer you want to use, and not on the size. Maybe make a mockup with cardboard, to help her visualize the two speakers. They're pretty much the same.
By the way, what are you planning to use for subs?
(Sorry to be nosey, just trying to help make sure you'll be happy with what you decide)
