Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3

@jaymark and @charles1dad are owners of the Project PS2 Transport and loving it.  I am between the Jay's Audio CD2 Mk3 and the Project.   However, did anyone compare the NEW 2019 Jay's Audio CD2 Mk3 rather than the prior model Mk2?  Steve Guttenberg reviewed them both and found significant improvement in the Mk3 version sonically.   How close are they now as the Jay's is $2500 and the Project with LTA power is closer to $4,000 (with taxes)?

I  went ahead and ordered the new CDT3 Mk3 and should have it in a couple of weeks per Alvin and Victor. 

Congratulations!!!

I am interested in your listening impressions and how it differs from your CDT2 MK III.

Will do as they will be in the same location for a few weeks at least though unlike the CDT2 the new unit won't have the hours on it. The units are going in two different houses in two different states in the end.  The CDT2 Mk3 will be paired with Spring 3 KTE or Aqua La Voce S3 while the CDT3 will be paired with the May KTE.

Thanks Charles for now I'm having fun playing with different gear but sooner than later a thinning of the herd will have to happen.

I'm impressed with the Jay's Transports.  But may I ask this?  Do all their transports have hum?
