I think the 220 Pro CI will sound better than a 250. The step from 250 to 250 Pro was clear, but the CI made a big difference. A pair of 250s will make an 800. If you see dual mono in your future a 250 is a good start. Otherwise the 220 Pro CI is probably better.
I agree... SQ alone, I think I'd still lean toward to 220 Pro. But of course, SQ is not the sole factor and it depends on your end-game. For me, the only reason to buy the 250 is if you think you'll eventually want to upgrade it to a 250 Pro.
