Which fronts will you opt for?Its better that you have Fronts and Center from same series.
Again depends on if you like the sound.So audition then selection will be better way.

I am planning to replace my front with sf52. So thinking to replace center too if c22 is better than existing Yamaha configuration wise

If you are changing front speakers, then its better to get matching center.

Having said that, the best center speaker is the same as your left/center speaker.

Why is it so? Configuration wise do you see any major difference between them?

Sound signature will differ and you may not enjoy the setup.So stick to Pioneer center.
