McCormack REV B upgrades. Better than a new amp?


I have read the testimonials about the stellar performance of upgraded versions of McCormack amp,especially the "REV B" level. A "used good condition" McCormack DNA-1 bought for 750.00, with REV B. upgrades added later is approx 1600.00 with round trip shipping costs. Would it make more sense to find a another amp that is newer, though USED between $1200-1500?? Also, do the McCormack upgrades hold up over time??

FWIW, I think Rev A, B refer to the DNA 0.5, 1, 2 series while Silver Gold Platinum refer to the newer DNA 125/250 series of amps that were built after CJ bought McCormack. Either way, Steve McC and Chris @ SMc Audio are a great resource. If I were still in solid state, I'd still have my SMc A+ amp.
