From what I know about Elac is that this line is a step or two a over their Debut lineup. I hear great things of many of their lines and this is a good price. I have not had any personal experience listening to them.
Delightful is right. These are a notch above the ELAC debut line that people rave about. The Unifi UB5 is a touch smaller, with a little less low end but remarkable mids and highs. It would be best paired with an SVS sub, pb1000 pro or SB1000 pro are fantastic starters. PB series better for home theater, SB more for music. A step up to 2000 pro series of either line is nice if you got the extra bucks.
These are excellent speakers and punch at the 700-1000 price range by most accounts. I have debut B6s, B6.2s, and Debut Reference speakers. I love this era of ELAC stuff. This is a hot deal.
As for center channel, you always want to match it to the front mains so dialogue blends correctly. Get the uni-fi center channel if you want one. For my 60% home theater/40% music setup I don't have a center channel and I don't feel like I'm missing much aside maybe some extra dialogue lift in high dynamic range movies.
One key difference also is that the Polk T15 are front-ported whereas the UB5s are rear-ported. The typical convention is that you need some additional distance between the wall and rear-ported speakers, compared to front-ported.

(not sure where this "restock" came from, but this line is discontinued, and finding the center channel that matches, etc will be difficult I haven't heard them, but it might be worthwhile going the "slim" cabinet route which, as others mentioned, are on sale.)
