Are new Mark Levinson Preamps better than old?


I have had a Mark Levinson ML 380 premap for 27 years, and am considering upgrading to a more recent model such as ML 523, ML 526, or ML 5206.  Has anyone heard both the ML 380 and any of the new models?  If so, how do they compare, and is it worth an upgrade?

I have a pair of 33h amps and personally  I liked  the Ayre k1xe  better than the levinson  pre. I have a tube front end and I have been thinking  about a pathos synapse  preamplifier.  But just thinking as I am happy where I am at currently.
