Playbar vs Playbase

Hello, can anyone that have tested both, tell me if playbar is better or not compared to the playbase, in terms of sound quality? Except for the obvious installation difference, I have more or less a 50m2 living room, with a sofa in the center, and a TV with a central stand. Playbase seems to be the most reasonable choice, but I'm still not 100% convinced since I've read several opinions related to sound quality difference. Is this difference so huge, or can be left apart taking the installation as the only choice parameter?
Thanks

I’ve tested the PlayBase over the Playbar. In a Sonos 5.1 setup with sub and play1 as rears. And I found a disappointing aspect that seems to be due to the playbase woofer over the sub. In some occasions the two subs go in redundance with an effect that is not good to the ears. PlayBase soundstage is wider for sure but in a 5.1 setup Playbar is for sure better IMO.
