Luxman 507/509

I wonder if anyone out there can answer a question I cant find an answer to anywhere on the internet please? I have the option of a good deal on a Luxman 509x but clearly still a fair bit more than a new 507uxII. I honestly cant convince myself of a difference in sound driving dynaudio heritage specials but I wondered what technical differences actually exist between the two - aside from a modest difference in rated power output. Any thoughts? Many thanks

The two areas where Luxman steps up/down seem to be power supplies as well as output transistor pairs. The 509 with 4, 507 with 3, and 505 with 2 pairs per channel.

I find the 507 to be quite splendid with my current setup. :)
