VAC Signature MKiia SE vs standard MKiia

Kevin and I have spoken regarding the upgrade (the improved input transformers used in the Statement Line, input signal routing and phono circuit layout enhancements, etc., and generally what one might expect in terms of sonic changes).  Was just curious what others with comparative experience may have heard.    

Thought I would "bump" on this.  Always helpful to hear experiential thoughts from the court of public opinion!  

Any updated thoughts ?
I spoke with Kevin and he felt the renaissance mkV actually sounds better than the non-se signature. But its tempting to get the non se used for a huge discount over msrp of the SE.

I found the SE improvements intrinsically more resolving than those offered in the standard MKIIa.  Break-in took approx. 200hrs, but improvements were obvious straight away.  IMHO, the SE upgrade investment is well worth it.  I cannot personally speak to any comparison with the renaissance mkV, though find Kevin's thoughts very interesting.
