 This has probably already been asked 'ad infinitum' so please forgive me for asking it again but how does a single PB13-Ultra compare to the PB12-Plus/2? I'm sure two would be better but i'm not sure I could explain to the wife why I need two and she's been really good with letting me treat the whole area. I can't decide whether to take the plunge now or wait until the dual driver unit comes out. Room size is 5700 cf.

The Plus/2 in its native 25 Hz tune (all ports open) is a shade stronger (on average) than the PB13-Ultra from 25-80 Hz, but obviously will quickly fall behind below 25 Hz.
The Plus/2 in the 20 Hz tune (one port plugged) loses some headroom across the board in exchange for the deeper extension. The Plus/2 (20 Hz tune) and the PB13-Ultra are about equal from 40-80 Hz, and below 40 Hz the PB13-Ultra starts to pull away.
The PB13-Ultra has extraordinary output capability in the 18-40 Hz region for a single driver subwoofer. Credit the combination of the large cabinet, triple 3.5" ports, deep tune point, and of course the new 13.5" woofer.
