The RS1's are a bit of a different animal...once you get up in higher end grados they get a lot more balance to them. I wouldn't mind owning RS1's eventually, or their counterpart Alessandro MS Pro's.

Never give up on headphones, you'll never get the detail and intimacy with your music unless you drop tons and tons more on a speaker setup.
