Magico S5 MK1

I have an opportunity to get a great deal on a demo model of the older Magico S5 MK1. They sound great, but does this make sense in 2020 or just save up for the MK2's, which really are a step up. Budget aside, this brings up an issue I think about which is avoiding the cutting edge and its premiums and staying one model behind the front of the ship. This means you can buy more used stuff as well.

Anyone heard the two side by side and feel that the increase in price is worth it? (We're talking more than 20k difference!)

My room is as good as it is going to get, as it is not dedicated. I have treatment everywhere I can... Also have good electronics (to my ears):

Innuos Statement > Chord Mscaler > Chord Dave > Chord SPM 1400 MKII monos
