Not sure if you made the purchase yet, but I happen to have an MC452, MC601's, and 1.2KW's. They are all very good! If you can afford the 1.2kw's, I would absolutely recommend them without hesitation!

Congrats !

It seems like you had your heart set on the 1.25s to begin with. I’m sure they won’t disappoint !

I hope they bring you many hours of joy!
