The current AQ cables have a superb fit & finish, and they look really good connected to gear (little if any cable management is necessary), not like garbage. And of course the sound is extremely detailed, open, and tonally neutral.

I agree 100%.
I don't know how much better it can get than my WELs... honestly. And I don't find the desire to find out because to move up to the Wel 2 or whatever they want to call it, I am not spending $30,000 to move to the newer version for a marginal difference.
Going from 12g copper wire from home depot to AQ WEL was fantastic. Going from AQ WEL to WEL2? Nah.
