Wilson Sophia 1,2, or 3?

I have long been a fan of the Wilson's and recently heard a new pair of Sophia 3 at a dealer. I loved the sound, but the price of a new pair is beyond my budget. As I have bought most of my audio equipment on Audiogon, I have always had good results. Can anyone please tell me the differences between the 1,2, and 3? We would assume that the newer one is better and perhaps more refined, but would a Series 1 at 1/3 the price of a new one be close and good place to start for someone who has never owned a pair of Wilson?
Associated equipment is all ARC, VT100MKII amp, LS26 pre, CD3MKII
Shunyata and Transparent Cables
Thank you

I had the VS 115 and CD3 Mk2 with the Sophia 1

I think the Sophia 2 matches up best with your equipment and is good enough to handle some upgrading if you desire. I owned the Sophia 1 before my current Watt puppy 8.

Ricred1,
Are you still listening to your Wilsons on the casters?

Kana813,

No I'm not listening to them on casters. I spiked them after they were set-up, I haven't updated my profile. I'm in the process of adding acoustic treatment and will update my profile when everything is completed.
