I did some measuring in my room, and the soffit basstraps measured better than the Vicoustic basstraps but they are much larger, so I think in surface area its around the same.

The GIK panels made my room a bit too dead.
They dont blend too well in a modern living space, although having art on some of the panels and traps would help a lot.
You can get Art on most of their basstraps as well.

The Vicoustic panels are very nice to look at and perform well.
The wave wood panels is a pain to mount, as they must be glued on.
They are very fragile as well.
I glued them on some wood panels which is mounted on the wall, so I can remove them later when needed.

All in all im happy I made the switch, and my wife as well.
Most guests that enter our living room has commented positively as well, if that matters to you.
Very good feedback thank you
