Default Type-R or Type-X REF

I can get Type-R 6.5 components for about $150 through work. Good deal, I can feed them 100 watts X 2 RMS out of my bridged Alpine 4ch. Now, I can get Alpine Type-X Reference level components from eBay for about $185 shipped. Seems to be a reputable seller, good feedback, power seller. What would you do?

I've bought tons of stuff from eBay, including speakers. No chance to buy any kind of extended warranty nor do I get a warranty from Alpine.

What would you do??

My bridged Alpine 4ch is giving me 100W RMS X 2 so power will be damn near perfect. I'm leaning towards the Type-X....

I'm already buying 20 sq/ft of eDead soon to add to my already large amount. I did the math, we get dynamat for about $2.60 a sq/ft. Ouch. Even with shipping, eDead comes out cheaper.
