SACD vs Regular CD's


I have a fairly good system, through which I have been listening to CD's with a Meridian G08 player which I have found to be fairly close to the analog sound. My question is, I am also thinking about getting a SACD player. I have NO experience with SACD's: are they worth the investment? is there really that much improvement? what are the pros and cons of SACD?

Any help would be appreciated, and I thank you, in advance, for any helpful comments.

Regards,

The gap with CD narrows substantially as playback hardware gets better. For me the beauty of SACD is mainly in the (unfortunatey rare) multi channel releases, not so much the lead in SQ over CD on two channel.
I have a bunch of Blu Rays, SACDs and DVD-A. They can all sound anywhere ranging from crap to stellar, mainly a function of the recording / mix quality, not so much the format.
