As a long time Wilson owner, I recently upgraded my W/P7s to 8s not only because of its refinements but because Wilson makes the process of upgrading seamless and favorable. I could not be happier with the speakers and consider them a new benchmark.
However, it is clear to me that Wilson's new (and transitory) benchmark was motivated in response to the remarkable performance of competitors like the VR-5SE or the BE-20, either of which I'd gladly own.
Wilson's historically established high resale value should not influence your buying decision if you are sure of perfection when you hear it.
But it could come in handy if you aren't.
