Center for Monitor 60's?

I'm sure the Cs1 will suffice but I don't want it to be out played.

You should get the CS2, as it has 6.50" drivers, which are bigger than the 5.25" drivers on the CS1. This is still timber matched as well, and although they are bigger drivers than the 60's 5.25" drivers, the difference will be hard to hear. There is little difference between the CS20 and CS2, besides the cabinet being a shiny laquer on the sides of the CS20. The CS2 is an excellent center channel and the price currently on NewEgg is only $119 (regularly $300) so that saves you over $180 and you'd be spending $80 more just for the shiny laquer on the CS20. They are in stock too!

Good luck!
