I can't speak for the PMC's in this respect, but one thing I will say is that both the 6328's and BM15a's require a sizeable room or an extremely good, as in incredibly well-desgined and controlled, small room, in order to sound good. They both deliver the bottom octave in a much, much larger dose than the BM6A's, and you will hate them if the room can't take it. You will also need very good stands or a serious meter bridge to mount them on or the low end will smear and boom all over the place.

After that, you couldn't have a more different set of choices.

If you tend to have problems that your mixes come out dull or not enough mids, I'd go with the 6328's- they are naturally rounder in the highs/mids and will lead you to brighter mixes. If your mixes are too bright or midrangey, go toward the PMC's or Dyn's, they will lead you smoother.

If you have issues with having too much low end stay away from the PMC's. The 6328's would lead you to tighter mixes, since the have a big round low end.

At the end of the day, it is more about how you hear than anything.
