Vandersteen 5a carbon vs 5a

Is the 5a carbon worth the $10,000 more than the 5a? If you have compared both I would love your opinion and why you came to that conclusion.

That tweeter really is special. The mid-range on the 5AC was also very grain free and lovely. I too have been tempted by the bird's eye maple pair.

I know the tweeter and mid-range are, but I'm curious if the factory replaces all drive units.
