Pass X250 verses X250.5

Hopefully I'll have an X250.5 soon to hear for myself but are there any of you out there who have uograded and what are your thouights? I hear the 250.5 is quite a bit better sounding but I'm looking for peoples experiences with these two amps and how they compare. I liked the sound of the X250 but the idea ofa new omproved X250.5 has me wanting one. Any experiences or opinions would be appreciated.
I'll eventually be able to answer my own question but for now how do you conpare these two amps.

I'm curious to hear your thought once the new units arrives.

The .5 amps harken back to the Aleph series which uses minimal, or single gain stages, similar to SET amps, but with the solid state circuits. I have heard the .5 series, but it was a while ago, and they are an improvement over an already good amp. You won't be disappointed. At least I don't think you will.
