if i were going by simply T/S.

they are both VERY similar.

close to same BL.
close to same Xmax.
Fs is a little higher on the Comp.
Qts is a little higher on the SSi.

i would choose the Comp. higher Fs means it will get louder at every freq. above it it has a little softer suspension, good for transient response, and won't take as much power to get loud.:-)

i could be wrong though. :-)

i think that the comps are measured in one way excursion and the ssis are both ways...

you'll be happy with them, for sure, but for the small increase in money, you'll notice a huge difference in performance

your amp will do nicely for either set of subs. so what's the worry?

you need to build a ported box to specs if oyu plan in getting new subs.

i am not sure, but i think i remember Chauncey saying something about you can order the coils in diff. variations.

That might be on just the CompX's though.
You will find out when you call them though:-)
