ESS 500M amplifier - Keep it?

I have an ESS 500M amplifier in good working condition. It is basically stock except for new input caps and added a few bypass caps.
I love the sound but it is such a beast to lift and move.
I regret turning loose of my Hafler DH-220 amp and don't want to make the same mistake with the ESS.
Am I being a romantic or is this amp's sound really that good?
Thanks.

Dave
