Honestly if you can afford to upgrade just do it. The older amps ran hot. The double diamond circuit cuts that way back. I had the AX5 and it was too hot to touch. Now with the upgrade it's a totally different amp (light years better) and runs at normal temps even in a cabinet and driven hard. Let us know when you send them in for you upgrade. Lol. Promise you it's worth every dime. If you have a local dealer you may want to go through them as the. They can do all the follow ups etc and it costs nothing more to you. Let them pack , insure and ship for you lol.
