Solution
lozenge is 40W the helix is 38W
the helix has a more powerful subwoofer (+5W), but the lozenge has more powerful satellites (+3W each) and higher total power. +2W

left and right. the more powerful each satellite is the further apart they can be placed increasing the stereo effect while maintaining sufficient volume.
typically the higher the wattage the louder the speaker can go without distortion.

I would get the lozenge, a tad less bass but doubtful anyone would notice the difference. the Sats if positioned properly can give massive heads up time, in game of course. I prefer a wide stereo, 8 or more feet apart. so here again the lozenge would be better with the higher wattage sats. 40 Watts in a small room is plenty loud.
