Beam 5.1 vs base

By no means am i an audiophile, but I do notice a good home theater system. In between getting a beam + sub (already have two sonos ones) or a playbase with no sub. Generally speaking what would you guys imagine is the better set up sound quality wise? Initial reviews seems like Beam is going to be missing some bass, but sub in my mind would help make up for that?

    The sonos sub is so good I would imagine any speaker with the sub is going to be better than a single stand alone.
