If it makes you feel any better, I could not discern a difference between the Supers and Ultras, or between the single-ended Supers and the balanced Supers. So I stopped just one step up from you, and I think I got a trade in allowance on the Pluses.
I'm sure you did get a trade-in, if you used Transparent's upgrade program. Glad the improvement was worth it. I might reach out to them to get an idea of what the trade-up value would be for my Plus ICs but only for my two main sources, my SACD and BD players.
