My personal opinion, based on the prices of both these speakers NEW: no, the upgrade is not worth it. The M20s are an amazing value...the Gems did not 'blow me away', as they should have for well over 3 times the price.
I should add that I listened only at the dealer's, but did listen carefully with known material for fairly extended time periods.
