I had essentially the same situation you do, long thin home office with a window with a view I wanted to face. And I looked at most of the same options you did, MMG-W's and MMG's, and the same picture of the piano-hinged MMG's, and made the same decision you did and got MMG's. However, when I experimented with the MMG's, they sounded so much better in a bigger room that they became my main speakers for a couple of years.
Now? For me, it would be a no-brainer -- I'd do the Mini Maggie home trial. This is precisely the kind of situation they were designed to address. Dealer setups of the Minis have in many cases been disappointing because dealer showrooms aren't set up to demonstrate desktop speakers. The Minis were designed for nearfield desktop listening, the MMG's weren't, and if my experience is any guide the MMG's just won't be at your best if you try to use them that way.
