Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 vs, v.4

I can get an almost new Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 for $1200 or almost new Paradigm Studio 100 v.4 for $1700 both plus shipping at about $250. I'm sort of new to better equipment and before most of my sound equipment came from the big box store for a lot less money.

I had the chance to hear a pair of Studio 60’s and was so impressed I was going to buy them for $1295. A little work found my way to this web site and some great deals. I have never heard the Studios 100’s..

Are the 100’s as good I think they are and if you were buying would you go for v.3 or spend the extra go v.4

Could really use some advice from the knowledge base…

Thanks

I agree with most the comments here, especially those concerning the differences between the 40's, 60's and 100's. When I was originally putting together a two-channel/home theater system I auditioned the 60's and really wanted to go that direction. I ended up with the 40's - they had 95% of the 60's performance at about 67% of their price. I never regretted my decision. I used them with a Servo-15a sub and the combo was dynamic for both music and movies. I sold the 40's a couple of years ago when we moved and could not fit them in our new family room cabinets. I now use 20 v.3's in the home theater and a pair of 100 v.4's in a dedicated two-channel system. I've never noticed a big difference between the v.2's, v.3's or v.4's. They are all great speakers. The 100's work great without a sub for two-channel. For a home theater/two-channel combo you will not go wrong with any from the 100's all the way "down" to the 20's.
