I’ve upgraded from Callisto basic to Signature and then to full Eclipse. However, the Aesthetix Calypso is another animal.
I don’t know the cost of the upgrade you are asking about, but would venture a guess that a used Aesthetix Callisto Sig would be much better than a Calypso Eclipse.
This based on listening tests in my system when I had both for an extended period of time. Aesthetix is greatly effected by tubes, as are most designs. I have lots of posts at Audiogon discussing tube swaps and results of same.
