Repair Magnepan MG IIa vs new 1.7 or 0.7, etc

I purchased these a few months ago.  Tweeters need to be replaced.  I can get the repair kit & do it myself (I heard it's a mess to do) for $50.00 or I can send them to Magnepan to have all the drivers, magnets, Mylar replaced with new for $600-800 plus shipping (approx $170-200).  Or I could buy new.   They are set up in a living room dining room combo (L shaped approx 25x35 feet).  Maybe the 1.7 or 0.7? Or possibly the MMGPlus.  I have an Odyssey Khartago Amp.

Anyone have any advice on this?

I lived next door to a  EE Prof at Wisconsin who had Maggies.
He told me 600 watts @4ohms was about right ,I thought he was nuts .
He played a few symphonies for me on his modded Hafler 500 which he said did about that .
He was right .
