Is it worth it?

Hello I'm the owner of a pair of Revel F208's currently being driven by a pair of VTL - MB180 monoblocks. I have the opportunity to get a used pair of Pass Labs 260.8 monoblocks. Even at used cost it is rather $$$. So  I guess what I'm.asking are my speakers revealing enough to be able to hear the benefits of using the Pass Labs. On a side note I am not unhappy with my VTL tube amps just wanted to get honest opinions.
Thanks

Vtl sounds great, but built quality is not so great .
Failed power tubes often affect other circuit components

 powerful VTL amps run very hot even in triode mode. normally in triode mode tubes run warm and safe to touch or definitely you can feel difference of air temperature barely close. In Ultra-Linear mode it's fireplace.
