CD player ungradeitis; Sony SCDxa5400es

Hello. I currently have a Sony SCD333 Cd player in my system & as much as I love it, I suppose I could do better.
It never ceases to amaze me for such a standard grade machine. I see Sony has a new SCDxa5400es version out. What is your take on upgrading to the newer version? I really like the fact that it has balanced connections and takes multi disks which if/when I upgrade are my only basic requirements besides the black color. Anyone bought the XA5400 and have input on it? I am not expecting the "new miricle machine", but ...?
System; Krell FPB300cx amp, Krell KCT pre, Infinity Rennaisaince 90 speakers.
Thanks for any and all insight, John

I thought the XA5400 looked like a single disc player, but ont of the reviews I saw on line stated it was a multi disk. I figured perhaps they changed the loading mechanism to a car type where the disks shuffle around inside the unit. I'll have to look further into that.
