Discovery Cables Plus Four vs Essence: Is there an audible difference?

Hi Folks, 

I'm looking for some detailed feedback on those who own both (or have owned both). I recently picked up the Essential speaker cable and love the sound. Previous speaker cable was Mogami W3082. I'm currently using a Theta Miles CD player and I'm going direct into my Odyssey Stratos amp. Speakers are Vandy 2c's.  
My current interconnects are Mogami W2549. Is there an audible difference between the Discovery 4's and Essence? My budget right now is around $200 or so, and I know the Essence are generally $300-$350. Is the sound of the Essence vs 4's worth the extra $$? For those who have both cables, do you notice a difference when comparing the two?

I've had Essence and Essential for several years now. It replaced Signature IC and 123 Speaker Cable. 
The upgrade was great but expensive as I bought new from Joe. 
Im driving a Simaudio Amp into Focal Sopra#2 speakers. 
The combination sounds sweet. 
I'm using balanced ICs now but the RCA sounded great too.
