Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers

I recently purchased a nice set of Ls50 metas off a fellow audiogoner..l have them on 33 in. stands in a large room.They are powered by a Hafler XL600(450x2) @ 4ohm.The metas are rolled off at 140hz.Behind the metas there are 2 line arrays of 6 (12 total)1000 watt velodyne 8In. Sealed subs.next to those there are 4-12 in. Subwoofers in sealed boxes with radiators tuned to 25hz,powered by 2 Crown K2's .l have a Mcintosh front end and lm using electronic crossovers.Everything is in phase,level matched and tweaked... Sounds amazing and effortless. I keep looking at the blades and wondering if there any better at 35,000 dollars...Aesthetically probably yes...Does anyone know if the blades have a better UNI Q driver?

l researched the blades and stereophile said the UNI Q module was crossed over at 300 if l read correctly..

The blades crossover from the woofers at 300hz based on measurements. Kef claims 350hz.

Those are, I believe, all in reference to the original Blades and not to the newer Meta versions where the crossover has been raised to 450Hz, according to KEF.
