Levinson upgrades vs factory original

Some of the reasons for price differences may be the factory faceplate. If I understood my dealer correctly, you can upgrade the #38 to 380s but the frontplate will not say 380s unless you pay an additional charge for a new one. I could be wrong as I am still way back in the ARC ls-15 range and was merely talking with my guy regarding future upgrade to 38 then to 380s.

The dealer I spoke with stated that the upgrade is the same as a 380s in every way, no difference at all. Just like Bmolloy says. But he said it can be done for slightly less money, maybe around 500.00 ??? if you don't change the face plate. But at this price point you might as well throw it in.
