How much better is rega rb1000 over rb700?

Is it worth upgrading from a rega rb700 to a top of the line rb1000?

How do they differ functionally and sonically?

Thanks

Mike

It's not the RB700. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing with their RB700. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Buy an RB1000? Nigel Tufnel: RB1000. Exactly. Three hundred better Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make the RB700 better and make the RB700 be the top tonearm and make that a little better? Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to one-thousand.
