KEF Blade 2 as replacement for Reference 107/2

A former owner of KEF Reference 107/2s posted that he moved to Blades, and that it is the obvious progression. I really love the sound of my 107/2s, and John Atkinson and Tom Norton raved about them in their reviews a few decades ago, but I'm wondering if it's time to move on. I haven't heard either the Blade or Blade 2s. Anyone had the opportunity to compare 107/2s with Blade 2s? I've had a lot of opportunity to compare the sound of the 107/2s with LS50s supplemented by Velodyne HGS-10 subs. The LS50s are amazing speakers, but not quite 107/2s, especially for large orchestrations.

@steve59 I see you are selling your Blades now.  What are you keeping or replacing them with?  I have 107's, Tannoy Arden's, and LS50's.  Was all content but then I went to AXPONA.  I really liked the Janszen A8-SE's, of all things.  But would have to do another audition before I'd give up what I have.  Plus the price of those Janszens (new) is as much as used Blades, which I have kind of lusted after...

How did you find the Blades compared to the 107/2's?  I do really like my 107's...especially for the money.  Ridiculous Price:Performance ratio, IMHO.
