Cardas Golden Presence - anyone familiar?

I have recently switched to Golden Cross interconnects (balanced) and have been extremely pleased with the results. I will be eventually replacing my Cardas Quadlink 5C biwire speaker cables in the next couple months. Golden Cross seems like the logical choice but I was wondering if anyone has heard the Golden Presence (their latest cable line). I briefly tried the neutral reference ICs and found it a little too sterile so I will also be staying away from Golden Reference as a possibility.

the presence is listed below the golden reference on the cardas website but according to the prices on fatwyre.com, the presence is significantly less expensive than the golden cross ($700/m vs $870/m).
Therefore, I'm assuming the sound is closer to the cross than to the more revealing reference series.

Thanks Sdecker - I too am looking for new speaker cables and was considering going with the GC since I have been very happy with the ICs. Do you think that an all GC cabled system would be too much of a warm sound?
