Buy the SVS SB-1000 Pro unless your room is large or you listen loud — the like-for-like floors are 20 vs 19 Hz (both ±3 dB), so the step-up ($600 more as tracked today) buys output (550W vs 325W RMS), not depth.

Reading the numbers honestly
Both extension figures are stated at ±3 dB, so this is honest: 19 Hz (SB-2000 Pro) vs 20 Hz (SB-1000 Pro) — one hertz. The step-up ($600 as tracked today) does not buy depth; it buys amplifier: 550W vs 325W RMS, which is headroom and output, not extension. Spec sheets love to imply bigger equals deeper; here the like-for-like numbers say otherwise.
The verdict
Buy the SVS SB-1000 Pro unless your room is large or you listen loud — the like-for-like floors are 20 vs 19 Hz (both ±3 dB), so the step-up ($600 more as tracked today) buys output (550W vs 325W RMS), not depth.
