Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale?

I have seen several ads on both AG and Ebay for a "variety" of Vandersteen 2CE's  

Question: Is:the "latest version:"of the model worth its  $2700 price tag  considering the evolution of this design over the last 10 to 12 years

Vandersteen's website shares a few paragraphs about the upgrades made; but, has their really been notable or marked improvements in sound quality and overall performance?.

The amount of 2CE's for sale regardless of what version seems unusual,and even cautionary for buyers looking at a used pair ( taking into consideration age and condition)

Lastly, does this model compete with the performance of other speakers in its price range??

  Thank you, S.J.

I've been waiting for quite a while for a used set of 2ce Sigs to appear in my area (Midwest). It just hasn't materialized.

I bought a set of 1Ci's last year. If these are better, it's a no-lose proposition!

"If it were me, I would get a 2wq sub or two and keep the 1ci's. You'll get performance almost as good as a 3a sig".

I would, but my amp (BAT VK3000se integrated) doesn't support a sub.

What I get now is awfully good, but my room could withstand a larger speaker with a touch more bass response.
