I have heard plenty of these little entry level center channels and believe me I would rather have something that I can hear and understand, even if dialog panning is inconsistent. At least it will be clearly audible. In the end if he upgrades the whole main stage, at least he will have been able to enjoy the center sooner rather then later.
EDIT: and yes, if you can work three identical floorstanders into your setup, that would be ideal.

I wasn't trying to talk the OP out of getting a new center speaker. I was only saying after he gets it and listens for a little while he'll probably feel the need to upgrade his mains as well.
