Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii


I am in the position of being able to buy either the 590AX or the 590AXii. The AXii is 2x the cost of the AX. I listened to the AX through Focal Kanta No2 speakers, which I own, and was thoroughly impressed. My question is this: what improvements did Luxman do to the AXii  relative to the AX that might justify spending 2x the cash on it?

The AX I listened to was manufactured in 2015 and is in pristine condition.

TIA

Agree with builder3 on his point.  I justify often by the cost difference divided by years of use formula.  Ex:  $1200 price difference divided by 10 years of projected use.  $10/month to have what I really want.  Isn't rationalization great?!
