Should I get CAT SL-1 mkII updated to mkIII?

I just bought a SL-1 mkII preamp. The tubes are a couple of years old and I was going to retube it(almost $300 for NOS). Would I be better off putting that money toward the upgrade to mkIII($675). Any opinions?

Hi, I also had my MK II update to the MK III and I also didn't hear $700 of upgrade.

Kawika, what did the upgrade do that you din't like?

From the comments so far it seems I may do better to just retube the MKII. Any suggestions on good tubes to use. I have read that CAT preamps will eat up certain brands.

Is an upgrade from the SL1 Reference Preamplifier to a later version available and, if so, at what cost? What exactly does it entail?
