Step up From Rogue RP-5

Hello, first time poster here. 
My system currently consists of Rogue Audio RP-5, Rogue MP-180 Monoblocks, denafrips Venus II DAC with Focal Sopra n2 speakers. That upgrade itch is there :)  I’m curious about the ARC LS28SE  also its big brother the 6SE in comparison. I like the price of the LS28SE more of course, but wonder what you give up from the 6SE. 
Love to hear your thoughts. 
Cheers!

Before spending the cost of the ARC, do consider the Rogue RP9.  It has an outstanding soundstage, superb airy, articulate and not harsh treble, well defined and articulate bass and a full midrange. It, of course, is matched to your MP-180 monoblocks.  Elsewhere in this forum, I compare the RP9 and RP7.   Also, contact Mark or Nick at Rogue since they may be able to upgrade your RP5 to a RP9 at a very reasonable cost.

You may also want to check out the older Athena or Hera which are no longer produced.  It seems like a lot of people prefer them to the current offerings.
