Krell 402E latest - advise needed

Hello, I currently own Krell 302E, have a good opportunity to upgrade to krell 402E . Is anybody out there who have/had/heard latest Krell 402E or 302E? What will I gain? Does this upgrade waste of money or well worth it? Any opinion is very appreciated. My speakers are Sonus Faber Elipsas. I know comparing them at the dealer is the best option, but I don’t have this opportunity.

Gshepardbuster, thank you for your advise and opinion. This is exaclty what I think. With SS, the higher power amps within the same brand sound better overall, with more presense and wait and not only at extreme levels. I am serisously leaning toward 402E.

Stanwal, thank you for the opinion, my room is relatively large (25’X20’ living room with high sealing), but I am not looking for more SPLs. Krell 402e has two power transformers (one for each channel ) and 35% more capacity. According to Krell, the 402E gives more wait and presence to the sound,better channel seperatio, even so tonal balance is the same. I just wanted to hear form actual owners of 402E or people who listened both.
