Replace Meridian 408.24 with Ayre CX-7 CD player

I have the Meridian 408.24 CD player (balanced to amp) with an Ayre AX-7e Integrated amplifier (just purchased) and ProAc 2.5 Speakers. My Dealer suggests I replace the Meridian 408.24 with the Ayre CX-7. I heard the Ayre CD Player in the store and it sounded very good but with different speakers. It is going to cost about $2,000+ and I have questions if the improvements are worth it and cannot decide what to do. What do you recommend? Comments?

take it home, there's no other way to know.... The 508.24 is no slouch, mind you!

I finally purchased the Ayre CX-7e CD player to go with my Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp. Breakin time is 100+ hours so the unit is still cooking. It sounds good with my ProAC 2.5 speakers but really needs more "cooking" time. I sold my Meridian 508.24 (upgraded 508.20).
