Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it?


Is the Usher DMD tweeter a BIG upgrade over the BE? I have BE-718s (US ver) and like them a lot, but we always want to take it to the next level if possible, right? The cost of tweeters alone is $700, which is pretty steep, so is it worth the price?

The original (BE) tweeter was titanium and measured fairly flat and seemed a pretty competent tweeter, it's only issue was dispersion above 5K narrows because it's a 1.25-inch tweeter. The new (DMD) tweeter is ceramic which is theoretically a better material than titanium for tweeters, but I haven't seen any measurements of the newer tweeter.
