REL T5 vs REL T7 subwoofers


Hi gang, just really curious about this. Back when I was hunting for a new sub in 2015, I was asking for opinions on because my decision was coming down to two choices, the Sunfire SDS-12 and the REL T5. The REL had a ton of fans but the Sunfire dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse. He needed floor space so I got the Sunfire brand new fooner $400.

I was just meandering through subs this week and took a look at the T5 and T7. The T7 is about double the price of the T5 and my question is...is it really worth that? You could actually buy two T5's for the cost of a single T7 which would seem the more logical choice to me. So, what am I missing? Or AM I missing something.

"The higher pricing of the upper models seems to make less sense. So, no, I don't think you are missing anything!".....I disagree, it depends on what you want in your system but yea your missing something. 
I  just sold a T7 on the bay for $450..its mint w boxes etc..so no the T7 isnt twice the price....you need to shop correctly...we all know about cost and diminished returns ,in the  stereo world its baby steps as you move up in a product line.....but in Rel,theres a quality difference between the 7 and 5 ....and a major difference between T and S series in their new products..again it depends on what your end goal is but definately worth the cost of going from  a T5 to a T7 on used market, IMO...if you cant hear the diff i doubt you even need a Rel
