Center Channel

I currently have a Monitor Audio Gold C350 center channel and have been contemplating getting the Monitor Audio PLC350. Unfortunately I can't compare the two. Has anyone compared the two to each other?  Are there significant differences between center channels that justifies paying 5K for a center channel?

auxinput,

after talking to Monitor Audio and considering the price difference between the series 1 and 2, I purchased the PLC350 from TMR Audio and should have it on Monday. I already have the Gold series one and everyone that I talked said, the PLC350 series one is a serious upgrade. I will post my thoughts on Monday.

Thanks for the update!  I'm interested to see how the PLC350 will work out.

I almost purchased the series II but I couldn't get over paying 5K for the center channel.

Already wondering if there is a "significant" difference between series I and II. The good news I can upgrade the series I to the II's.

I understand  now why so many suggested I should get the PLC350. I don't want to play the better game, but although it's the series 1, I now know what seamless means between the fronts and center. The Gold C350 brought attention to itself. 
The only problem to my ears is the PLC350 requires more power than my Marantz SR5011. Any suggestions? Any thoughts on Rotel AV separates?
