Yes, I did consider the 15's, and as Eric defined the amp-matching differences between the Perfect SET, Perfect SET15, and 2-10 Perfect SET at the time, the 15 is what would have matched the Sarah the best.
But, the 15 would have locked me into only using a flea-watt tube amp, and if I wanted to go with a higher watt SS amp later, the bass weighting would have been off and I would had to dial back the gain. And, I like using a Sub to overcome room modes, so if the 2-10 was too light on bass, I was going to add some back anyway.
That plan worked great, until things changed. The 2-10s were just a smidge light on bass as expected, I did add bass, and I decided I would very likely never go back to solid state. Then, Eric Alexander introduced the 2-12 Perfect SET, which gives a 5db bump in sensitivity over the 2-10s. So, I sold my 2-10s and got the 2-12s with electronics upgrade and BE tweeters. The bass (for me) is now perfect.
The other reason I didn't go with the P SET15 is that I was told the BE tweeter upgrade was not an option. I would definitely call and speak with Eric Alexander and confirm about the BEs, the difference in fidelity and SQ between one 15 and two 12s, the specific amps you're planning on using, etc. I am highly confident he will steer you in the right direction.
But yes, I think you're on the right track with the bi-amped Perfect SET15s so that you can dial in the bass you prefer.
