Bit of a dillema Simaudio.. UPGRADE hmmm

Coming up on the "anniversary" of my Simaudio gear and thinking of taking advantage of their trade up program..

I have learned ALLOT here over the past couple years. and have really taken to the sound of my Moons!

Basically, I'm seeking advice on upgrading, I would like to trade my 2 M400 mono's, 350P preamp, related interconnects/ power cord, and move up to the 600/700i!!

What are your thoughts on this move?

Would there be much of a SQ difference?
especially going from 400wpc to 176wpc

Dac: Wyred4sound DSD
Speakers: Focal Chorus 726
Cables/ IC: all Analysis Plus crystal oval 8

Look forward to your thoughts!!

thanks for the suggestions on speaker upgrade. My dealer offered a 100% trade in credit towards new speakers. Based partially on what was suggested here I decided to upgrade to the new Focal Aria 946.

I really like the sound of these!
the amplification has way way more volume than I could ever use in this setup. I barely get to 1/8 the of the dial before it is too loud. Much of the music I like is not even produced in FLAC form basically rock, pop, dance type of music.
Those are usually listen to at loud volumes anyway.
