Von Schweikert VR4 Jr - any inside info?


Anyone have the inside scoop on the VR4 Jr?
It's being introduced in Jan - as I understand it's a 2pc stacked cabinet, wood vaneer (no cloth!) a true 3 way with the same drivers as the Vr2 only with a dedicated midrange, retails for $1500 more than the VR2.
I have the VR2 in my sights - and now I've learned of the VR4 Jr intro - Can anyone share their experience when they've spent extra money for one speaker over another from the same company and whether it was worth it? Or whether you'd do it again?
For example: I've heard from two people who said the extra money they spent on the Meadowlark Osprey over the Kestral 2 was definitely worth the extra cash. Same with the Aerial Acoustics 8b over the 7b.
I'm wondering if $1500 more for the VR4 Jr will be that much of a leap in sonic improvement and whether to wait another couple months to find out, or just roll with the VR2 and get it over with?
Kind of a ramble but any and all thoughts will be appreciated.
