Phono Stages with External Power Supplies...Worth It?

I basically know what phono stage I am buying (Odyssey Suspiro) but what I can't decide on is whether getting the better version with the external power supply is worth the extra money (Reference).

My current phono is MM only (Lounge LCR MKIII) so I've only ever ran MM carts but I think eventually I would like to get into MC. So how much difference can it make? for 40% more money is it that much better ($1200 vs $1950)

Has anyone suggested listening and deciding for yourself whether it is worth it? ;)
This more than anything else will tell you.

Any dealer worth his salt will be happy to swap them out for you at the dealership or lend you both for lengthy home demo. Either way you will know for sure rather than acting on random opinion?
