Haveing heard both a Rocket system and my Axiom system it all comes down to preferences. Which do YOU like.?
I would never say the Rocket center is better than the VP150, just different. In MY room for ME, Axioms are the way to go. If I lived somewhere else with different acoustics, I may like the Rockets better.
If you go with Axiom mains you'll want to stick with an Axiom center.
If you go with Rocket mains you'll want to stick with a Rocket center.
Because of the two brands different sounds you wouldnt want to mix.
How would you describe your room, hard and reflective or soft and not reflective?
For the record, I really liked the Rocket system I heard. It was in a VERY hard and reflective room. (cement walls floor and ceiling with sparse furniture and decoration.)

Actually I would consider your room on the soft side because of the carpet alone. Add a couple of big soft sofas, and that makes it even softer.

I would consider that "neutral" considering carpet and sheetrock are on the "absorbing" side. If you added heavy drapes and heavier, padded furniture, it would more likely be considered a "dead" room.
What are the dimensions?

Generally, you PM or email them. That's a big room...

PM them, but you may have to wait a day or two, since they are not logged in full time in this forum. I am pretty sure somebody will offer you an audition.
