Zu Essence vs. Druid Mk4/08

I have recently unsuccessfully attempted to purchase used Zu speakers in thr $2,500 - $3,000 range (outbid).

Currently there are available a pair of Essence and "the last pair of Druid Mk4/08 built for James of Zu Audio" with original ZuB3 interface(via Speakon 8-pole, Zu convention, with Cardas 5-way binding posts and Mundorf Silver/Oil caps.

Any opinion considering the Essence pair can be purchased for less than the Druids?

I'd pick the Soul Superfly over both the Essence and the Druid. The Superfly maintains the Zu house sound while improving resolution, high frequency extension and low end grunt. Think of it as a Druid++.
