I've owned both. Problem is 57's... they are 40 to 60 years old. Most pairs sound different depending on what shape they're in. Unless you're dealing with a completely refurbed pair I can't say how any particular 57 will sound.
The 57 is, of course, far superior in the midrange and has that uncanny Quad 'listening through the speaker to the performance' effect. They will be far more coherent through the frequency range.
The Aerius i will play louder (a touch) and have wider dispersion.
