I own VIIIA, not B, and I preferred it to 1.6 for several reasons that you can read in my review, but I could live with either of them. B version it seems bring better top end.
Now, I had chance to hear 1.7 and for me it is step back, I would rather have 1.6. I found 1.7 uneven, non-coherent and uninvolving. So, since you have 1.6 already, I do not believe that 1.7 is the way to go.
What are your priorities should determine what is better. If you enjoy playing at low levels, if you love microdynamics and crave midrange coherence, go VIIIB-s, if not go Maggies.
