Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen


As I mentioned in another thread, I am looking to make one or two upgrades to my system this year. Total budget is around $500 - 600. My current system is:
B&W CM10
Parasound A21
Cambridge Audio Azur 851D (preamp + DAC)
Cheap Audioquest wires (I think I paid around $50 for an 8 ft pair).

The two speaker cables that I've seen mentioned a lot here are Clear Day and Acoustic Zen Sartori. I almost pulled the plug on a pair of used AZ Sartori a week ago, but it was sold before I could make an offer.
There are other AZ Satoris on sale here at agon but they're all over 8 ft, which is not what I want.

However, I see that for the same $$$ for used AZs, I can get brand new Clear Day Double Shotguns.

Has anybody compared these two in their systems? Given that B&W is generally considered to be a tad bit on the bright side, I wonder if the silver in Clear Day might not be the best choice?

And what is keeping you guys from ordering a free demo set from Paul at Clear Day? All you'll pay is return shipping - which should be less than $10.
arafiq,
I strongly the 4-wire jumpers. My speaker wire config is exactly like yours.
arafiq,
I have a Cullen Power Cord, Cross Over series, but customized for 10AWG for my Parasound A21.
