PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI?


I own the MKI with the bridge and I am considering on sending the unit to PS audio for upgrade, it will be $900, so I decided to ask the audio community to see what is their experience with the upgrades, for me as a full time graduate student every move it has to be done wisely cause I don't have extra cash to be experimenting.
I will really appreciate your comments and personal experience in this journey, the reviews are excellent but I want to hear from this forum before any further move or desition.
King regards and Thank you once more.

I upgraded my PWD and have been quite happy with it. The upgrade was fairly simple and the sound is a little cleaner, more three dimensional, and relaxed. Not a huge improvement, but a definite upgrade. I got the upgrade at the "introductory" price of $800, but the most recent price was $1000. I say "was" since they have discontinued making the upgrade kits. Not sure if there are any left, but I would check with PS Audio before assuming you can get it done for $900 or any other price. There have been a few people selling their upgrade kits here and on eBay, but I would make sure you get the right one, there are two or three versions. One last thing, while not implicitly stated, Paul McGowan has inferred that a Mk III could be coming, but I would bet that's at least a year away. Good luck!
