SF EXTREMA vs SF Cremona M

Hi friends,
Need your honest advise. Someone offering to SWAP his SF Cremona M to my SF Extrema. Kinda tempted bec Cremona M has newer/modern look. Is Straight Swap a good deal? Or are the Extremas becoming a collector piece? Or should he offer to add cash? Your early advise will be much appreciated. The person is kinda giving me few days only to think about this dilema.
Regards to All.

Keep the Extremas. You'll definitely regret it if you let go your Extremas. I have owned them for 15 years and they are still as good as any modern designs. I drive them with the Gryphon Mephisto. Preamp is the Burmester 808mk5. I use a pair of Townshend supertweeters as well.

It seems that more are in favor of the Extremas. I might just be looking for something newer & fresher look. Maybe bec. I've had the Extremas for around a decade already, or maybe the itch to change equipment from time to time just like most audio enthusiast or audiophiles that I meet.....I am kinda set to go for the Elipsa but feeling guilty to let go of the Extremas also grrrrrrr....I plan to play around with the KAV300i and Synthesis Magnum 100 which I can't use with the Extremas though...currently using FPB200 which takes more time to warm up as compared to the 2 integrated amps I mentioned above. Regards to all!!!
