VTL MB300 Delux modded vs MB450's

So here's my issues.

I have a friend that is willing to sell me his MB450's that have the signature transformers, etc and all that jazz for about 600 bucks more than what I could get for my MB300 deluxes.

My amps had all the mods done, sig transformers, B+ fuse, etc and the only thing needing replacement would be the binding post as they could be a bit better.

I'm not really sure if its worth the upgrade to the MB450's as from what I know there wasn't much of a change.

I'm going to be buying his SoundLab M3 speakers from him as well and this is what they would be running.

I do have a BAT VK31 which is a fully balanced pre. The biggest thing is my amps are not fully balanced but I do think the 450's are. Do you guys think it would be worth the 600 bucks to upgrade or what are you impressions? The 450's are newer than my 300's but I'm still torn if I would even want to sell the 300's as I really do love them and could probably put them in a 2nd system.

I didn't call VTL at all. I have called them in the past and really the biggest response to any question was along the lines of buy our new amp. Or at least thats the way it felt after I asked how much it would cost for them to do a check up on the 300's.

The issue the person who I would get them from lives in GA and I'm in WI. If I bought them I would do it when I pick up the Soundlabs. I don't have time for awhile to be able to go out there before the purchase to demo.

In the long future I would love to try out a pair of the 750's or some of the other higher powered stuff as I love the sound I get out the VTLs.
