Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m

I have the opportunity to buy a couple of Nordost power cords, Tyr and Frey at a 15 discount. I auditioned the cords in a one meter length and they made a nice improvement. The dealer quotes NOrdost as saying, it will sound better in a 2 meter. I have a dedicated circuit for my Qbase strip which has the whole stereo plugged in. I thought i read somewhere that a dedicated circuit makes the longer length improvement questionable. Adding another meter to both increases cost by about 1000. They already cost close to 5,000 so this would be closer to 6,000.   I can’t test any of this. I just have to make a decision. Would like your thoughts. Thanks.

The reasons for yes or no should be a good read.

I have read "facts" on both short/long.

'you hit on the audiophile neurotic FOMO thing."

bossa-at least you have self awarness of the affliction!

I have had the mighty Odin II & Valhall II in place of Heimdall II in my setup...

My setup isn't at the level their intended for(or maybe just no having  a fat wallet?) 

Being a Nordost fan, I get it. The reason I have mine is  through exceptional buys(used/Ind. connections) 

Lets get real- the stuff @ MSRP is ridiculous, equally "performing" cable can be found for considerably less, just not as cool looking.

Happily residing dead center in the cables do/ don't war zone.

Everyone get your Turkey on!
