Grado SR325 vs RS-1

Does anyone know how the SR325 compares to the RS-1? I have been using the SR325 for a few years now and am wondering if I should consider the RS-1 for comfort (weight) and sound. I listen to mostly rock and like the sound the Grado's have so I bought the 325's before the RS-1 was available. BTW I am using it out of the Headroom Cosmic (earlier version) and Musical Fidelity X-DAC/X10-D all day long at work (yeah, I know....poor me). Thanks for any advice/upgrades.

I have a friend who just upgraded his sennheiser HD 580 to rs-2 and he choose the rs-2 over the rs-325.
I went to the store with him and have to agree with him. The RS-2 are fuller and yet even more detailed. Most important they are easier to listen to. From what I hear the only difference between rs-2 and rs-1 are the size of the driver.

I have not heared the RS-1, but Since both drivers are small absolut terms I think the larger driver would prove to sound more dynamic with deeper bass.
I think that both models will do really well with all kinds of music.
