If you spell that name wrong, you're probably not very interested in HiFi, and it's likely not going to be worth it for you.
In my opinion, the main benefit of the upgraded system is that it brightens the treble. This is good if you listen to high quality CDs and WAVs with music with high treble (highhats, analog synth), but bad if you listen to highly compressed MP3s as it exposes the flaws inherent in the compression.
Don't let the Watt designation lead you to belive that the H-K is much louder. Marketing Watts have little to do with the actual loudness, and you won't get recognizable music much over 90 dB with either system. You'll get more power to the low end, but it'll still sound muddy at high volumes.
