Alex, welcome. No, the M60s certainly wouldn't be too much for that size room; you're in control of how loud the speakers play, not them. Since you're considering two fine subs, the advantage that the M60s would have over the M22s in the lowest bass wouldn't be relevant and the advantage of being able to play at very high levels a little more cleanly than the M22s wouldn't likely come in to play at the levels that you'd be using in that room.
My experience with the M22s and EP500 leads me to suggest that the M22s plus the sub that you're considering would give you excellent results and that you should go that way unless you have some other reason for preferring tower speakers.
You don't mention it, but you should certainly consider getting surround speakers, preferably QSs, for use with all your source materials.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

acoustically speaking, not the best room based on demensions, but either speakers will be fine.

Either speaker will do well in that room. I found the M22 + sub to be very similar in sound to the M60 (other than the lower extension of the sub).
If you are not considering a sub, the M60 is a much better choice as it has a much better bottom end.

Always side with overkill, so M80 might be your answer.

Without hearing all the candidates in your room with your material, what makes you so sure that the PSB's "undoubtedly" have better imaging?

Order up a pair of M60s and see if you can get an in home demo of a pair of Image Bs. For the potential cost of return shipping on a pair of towers, you will know for sure which you prefer.
