Threshold Stasis 2...Worth a rebuild???

I have a Threshold Stasis 2 in wonderful cosmetic condition, but one channel went flooey. I contacted Jon Sondenberg and he will do a rebuild/upgrade for a little north of 1300 bux.
Jon said that the rebuild/upgrade would put the amp in the sonic category of a Pass Labs 250.

My question is, do you think it is worth sinking that kind of dough into an amp that old?

Thanks in advance to all for your wise opinions.

Not knowing much about Threshold amps, I would say that non-functioning amps can be hard to sell too... :^)

Jon's (who was a tech at the original Threshold) work straddles the line between maintenance and modded...:^)
Of all the many comments I've come across regarding Jon, I've only heard of one complaint and I don't know that individual personally. I've always found him to be very knowledgable of Threshold gear and a perfect gentleman.

I owned a Stasis 2. Looking back after what I paid for the power amp used and the rebuild cost, I could have bought a much newer better sounding Pass labs power amp.
