WP7 to 8? Worth the move?

I have loved my WattPuppy7's since 2003, more now than ever. Years have rolled by and now 2 models later I am considering a move to the 8. It's not possible for me to hear them around here so I am trying to get some input on how much of an impact this would have. I could wait a few years for some Sasha's to hit the used market but mine will be worth less so I'm also looking at financial considerations. Dollar wise, a move from 7 to 8 seems logical in the current market which also could help a future step to Sasha but sonically would this be worth it? I have also heard comments that the 7 is, overall, a better!?I know many of you have compared and moved from 7 to 8 and even to Sash so I'm hoping you can help me gain a little clarity here.

i will disagree with the others---the 8 is evolutionary, not revolutionary. it was really made because of the EU lead issues from what i have read. soundwise, a little less tipped up in the treble and a little better integration of drivers. but not worth the premium you will pay in the used market i feel.

having heard the 7,8, and Sasha---Sasha is your true upgrade. or even better Maxxs.

fwiw- both the 7 and 8 have tipped up treble in Sphile's measurements. its due to the breakup pattern of the Focal tweeter he uses.
