Using anything other than exactly the same family for the center channel is a compromise of the sound, and you are spending a lot of money for that sound. Most speech comes from the center channel, but also from the left and right at the same time. Whether that sound disconnect is important and noticeable is a personal decision.
Because of that, I would reconsider the Sopra 3 with a Sopra Center if that works into your budget better.
Best of Luck!
