All a matter of what you want and how much you care for sure. I mean the justification given for this increase is that its essentially R&D costs having to do with firmware and product improvements. Company went from 3 to 185 engineers supposedly.

Hardware hasn't changed but firmware with audio can be a difference. Of course.... if I'm honest most people probably don't notice the difference, or at least don't find it worth the extra.

Said as someone who will never buy both of these and admittedly is mostly bought into apple ecosystem, which is a whole other debate of worth.
