I never used the ROKIT's, but recently was in the market for some new monitors, and due to the advice from some friends I highly respect, went with the VXT 8's, and have no regrets at all, except for the fact they may be too big for my room!

, I have done a lot of mixes on them, and they seem to translate well to the variety of listening environments I have checked them out on..... some have said they may be a little odd on the low end, (since you mention your genre specific tasks), but I usually use them in close near field matters, and I haven't encountered anything weird yet at all....
