I can't speak for Buckle's white panels...
I guess the traps pick up a bit of dust. However, I wouldn't say that it's particularly noticable and certainly isn't something that can't be dusted away.

What other speakers did you audition before choosing the Mission's?
I didn't. I'd pretty much set my heart on these speakers as for many many years I'd always fancied a pair of missions. All I had to check was that I was satisfied with their sound.
Of course, I freely admit that in all likelihood I'd probably already made up my mind before auditioning them that I'd end up buying them, but hey ho, there you go.
In any event, I auditioned my speakers in a larger, carpeted, untreated room. My own room has, as you can see, a wooden laminated floor, is smaller and (now) treated. As such, the sound is completely different to what was heard in the shop and so the audition arguably could be considered irrelevant. For what it's worth, the sound is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than when I first auditioned the speakers.
Now that around two years has passed since buying my system, and from what I've learned from this site and its members, I find myself looking to the future and the possible purchase of a
final, set of (for 2 channel) speakers. Time will tell if, by the time I can afford them (if ever), I'd be willing to put the money down for them.
Thanks for the kind words folks.
