I haven't heard the Venere 2.5s but I know Sonus Faber is a good speaker. If you went by specs and to a lesser degree price, the Sabrina should be a substantial improvement. But sometimes specs and price aren't everything. Obviously your testing confirmed they were well worth the upgrade.
If I had a choice of the D200 -> D220Pro vs my Focal 1028BE -> Sabrina upgrade, no competition, the speaker upgrade is leaps and bounds a greater improvement.
