So what's the better deal (honestly)?

Hi, was in England back now.I don't think you can hear a 27k paint job however the Magico outriggers do improve the sound greatly. The stainless still feet that are included tend to give a harder sound with far less detail.I am using custom Symposium Super plus with Stealth top that were custom made for me they use Tellurium Copper spikes on Magico Q3s.

I would make a bonfire and burn all the money 

You can get a very nice pair of loudspeakers or component for $7600.....

Some people have money to spend others don't such is life.

@ supermario:  see my other thread entitled "$27,500 for what?". there are people here who actually "justified" a $27,500 paint job upgrade, saying it's more work to paint a speaker than a car.  yes, really!!!!
