ARC VT 100: MkII vs. MkIII?

Has anyone familiar with the MkII listened to the latest revision? Would you care to compare?

The ARC web site makes no mention of a MK-III. I did have my unit updated to MK-II in the spring. The update includes fitting a removable IEC power cord, addition of a fan, and adding two small circuit cards containing additional power supply capacitance. The update yielded better dynamics and more of a sense of "sonic ease". At some time, I would like to explore updating the power cord.

I bought the unit used for $2800 and spent $600 on the upgrade. I couldn't care less that I don't have the latest. I will be curious as to the changes / sonic improvements. What I would really like is the ability to bridge the channels to offer the ultimate upgrade - another!
