Go with the new Monitor 70Bs or drop down?

So now that Newegg has gotten rid of their Monitor 70s and replaced them with these new "B" models, the prices have gone back up. I was originally looking at getting a pair of the 70s for my fronts when they were $150 or so each, but at $250 they're starting to stretch my budget. Can I go with a pair of the older Monitor 50s and 60s and still be satisfied?

I'm coming from a Onkyo HTIB where my fronts were smaller than my new center (Polk CS2) so my ear isn't tuned. I'll be hooking them up to a Denon 2310 and Pioneer 101FD.

Do I go with the older/smaller speakers or do I just wait for the next paycheck (this one isn't an option, paying off bills and such) and go with my original choice?

I use the Monitor 50s in the back and they only have 2 (excuse my complete lack of speaker knowledge, I'm gunna use a generic term) "speakers" in them compared to the 70s 4. Are you sure you can't find Monitor 70s (Series 1) anywhere? I'm assuming other places may be more expensive since I saw Newegg was also out of the Polk CS1 (had it for $70 and other places still have it for $130).

I'd say save your money until you can afford the speakers you want.
