Much depends on the system. Knowing that you are now using the Wilson Sophia II's in your system which can sound a touch lean in the upper mids depending on the gear driving them due to their openness and neutrality, I'd be a little concerned about that specific coupling. The 501s sound more forgiving overall even if you do pay for it with a slight loss of resolution and dynamics.

Given your experience with Sasha's and the improvement in the upper mids, do you feel differently about a Levinson/Sasha pairing?
