Although I don't hear an 'obvious tweeter' in my 800 diamonds, I concede that bright recordings can be a bit too hot in some instances, and there's no shortage of bright masters these days.
As I've said many times, the Revels are simply sublime in the mids and treble so I'm not surprised that you're looking at Wilsons as a possible upgrade path.
I would make this one point though. If I was choosing speakers for HT as well as 2 channel audio I would definitely choose the B&W 800 series over Revel Ultima's.
800 Diamonds in a HT setup is really quite an experience.
