Has anyone compared Synergistic XOT and XOT Carbon transducers?

I been using the older model XOT a few years now and I'm wondering if the newer Carbon XOT is any better. I found the XOT has a minor improvement on the upper range especially when it comes to female voices.

He wanted to know my current equipment and thought it might make a very small improvement since the older model pretty much does the same type of noise filtering. I appreciate his honesty and opinion but I guess like any tweaks it comes down to the quality and the synergy with the equipment.

I also called Synergistic and they suggested I try the Migs 2.0 in lieu of upgrading to the newer carbon XOT. So I received the Migs today and plan to do an extensive review with various genres of music and types of recordings.
