Paradigm Monitor 5v2 - Studio 40 v3 - worth it?

I'm planning to upgrade my Monitor 5 V2 with premiere S-series stands & NAD c320BEE int. amp within the coming weeks, I am thinking of just making a step up the ladder to the studio 40s with a higher end NAD int amp also (c352/372).

Anyways, I am wondering what you guys think about the studio 40 v3s vs the monitor 5 v2s? Is the price difference worth it? And what do you recommend for amplification for a room about 15x20 in size.

The Studio line have always been quite a step up from the Monitor line. It would be worth it IMO. As for amplification, there are quite a lot of choices.

At one point I upgraded from Monitor 7's to Studio 60's. It was a certainly a worthwhile and significant upgrade. If you have the funds, go for it.

Great, for great response, I am going to demo the studio 40s shortly at my local dealer, I am still wondering about amplification, would the NAD C352 (80w per/ch) be enough? Or should I go with a pre amp + power amp combo? Only going to be using this for 2 ch music.
