Re: Intro & my sofa dilema
One the things you might want to do is lay this all out to scale using the Icovia room planner, which is powerful and easy to use software that you can find on line on some makers websites. This will give you a sense of scale as to what will and won't fit. Here's one attached to Thomasvilles web site:

Your room schematic is really too small on the attachment to see the numbers, sorry. In a room layout like that, you really only have three choices, and working these in a digital room planner will give you an idea of spatial proportion:
A) A sofa floating in the room in front of the fireplace, with a pair of small scale swivel chairs to the left and right of the fireplace between the sofa and fireplace,
B) A pair of Loveseats or small sofas perpendicular to the fireplace and facing one another.
C) A sectional with a short 'loveseat' section, and perhaps one swivel chair on the diagonal across from it.
That's generally all that will work in a room that is open to that degree, with no fixed walls.
Sundance: Probably the best for design "A". As beautiful from the back as it is from the front. Yes, its deep at 46" or so.
Sloane : A very elegant looking sofa with the 'picture frame' back.
Ellie: Skip. Not comfy for laydown.
Kingwood: Another great looking sofa, lay-down comfort is good on it. Large!
