Apogee Scintilla Value?

I have been offered these just by chance in a casual conversation about other gear. The gentleman has said these are rebuilt and are for sale for $4800. I'm not sure what version they are and if one of these (3?) versions is more desirable and or valuable then the others. I do need more info on these from the seller but right now I'm just kicking the tires.
Then there are many issues with this like shipping 2000 miles which will cost at least $500 and those fragile ribbons. And then there are my amp issues. I have a Mac MC-7200, Kell KAV-500 and a Sunfire Cinema Grand which is "load invariant". I suspect that none of these will suffice although I need to research that Sunfire. I have issues!!!!
The Bluebook is crazy with one sold 7 years ago for $5200 and then one sold for $2000 and then $11,000 for the most recent pair. Are these really worth $11K? I have Martin Logan Prodigies now and I wonder if it will be that much of an upgrade.
What do you think?

you could buy 2 pair of 1.7i Magneplanars for that price or maybe a pair of used 3.6's or be close to a new 3.7i

I have the 1.5QRs and a Sunfire Cinema Grand which drives them easily

Maggies are an easy 4 ohm load all the way across the freq. spectrum, unlike electrostatics which are more difficult to drive, but I expect a Sunfire Cinema Grand can do it.
