The benefit vs. cost trade off is something only you can decide. Personally, although I recognize that the DAW's are better, I have avoided the itch to trade up, particularly with the AD upgrade. In my case, the Yvettes (in Ipanema Brown) make an excellent visual/physical fit in my room.
Happy listening.
Bob
