Anyone ever compare Behringer MS16 & Roland MA8, MA12?

I occasionally could use some monitors with my Tyros 2. I will not even consider the one Yamaha made, as I don't want to carry a sub just to be able to use the satellites.
I have heard that the MS16 and MA8 are actually the same thing, just the brand name change. Any word on that?
Also wondering about the MA12.
I realize the Roland's are out of production, but I'm interested if anyone has compared them, how they sounded, if they would be adequate for monitors, and if I should get the Tyros 2 satellite mounts, are they light enough to work in that situation?
I occasionally consider the 3000 or the S900, but the sound is going up while I sit and I'm not sure I would really benefit from that. Also, I'd loose my 3-layered voices etc, which make quite a difference with the stuff I like to play.
On the other hand, maybe just facing the speakers backwards towards the wall would take care of it. I tried that once, but, since I was in front of open windows, you know the rest of the story.
Thanx in advance.

I'm always looking for home monitors too. Given that I keep the keyboard in the open plan living/dining room appearance is a priority too.
The CM30s are too large for that application.
Your post, when I folowed the ebay link also identified the Edirol Ma-7 and MA-15. I must say they are cool looking with the wood panels at the side. Reminiscent of the new PA2X? Has anyone auditioned them ?
