I am in analysis paralysis... debating between the two designs.

Pics below of the actual room.

Please excuse the mess as we are still unboxing everything from our move into the house.

I am considering both designs and angled or standard flat packs to mount directly to the ceiling either using a bracket for the standard enclosures or screwing through the top of the angled enclosures.
Front stage will most likely be 1099s with one Devastator acting like a center channel stand and another Devastator down firing directly behind the sectional and almost directly under the rear channels.

Please help me make this decision or advice me for another route. Thank you in advance for time and help.

*Edit: I will most likely be crossing over at 80Hz.

I see you also asked this question in the DIYSG forum. Matt Gant answered a similar question earlier in the Volt thread where you posted on the DIYSG forum:

You are correct the ported Volt-8 does has more extension in a similar or smaller cabinet then the sealed Volt-10. If you are not going to be pushing the limits of either design and would like that extra extension then by all means go for the Volt-8. The advantage the sealed volt-10 has is up a little higher (100-200hz) where it's greater displacement ability means it can achieve higher max output and when at similar output as the volt-8 do so with lower cone excursion.

I understand that they will sound similar in response. I guess I should have been more clear about my question.

I am asking, more about which one would work better in my placement situation. With the woofer cone/waveguide being so close to the ceiling and having possible reflection issues.

@mtg90 @Erich H

If I would have any issues with sound reflection from the ceiling based off of pictures in 1st post?

Do you have any frequency response charts for these two options?

I would like to know which one has a better response down to 80Hz.
