Assuming the prices are somewhat in the same ball park, the newer model SFs with the AX-5 Twenty should clearly have higher SQ than the older SFs paired an AX-7e (altho' the latter probably sounds danged good). You were already budgeting $16K? New, I think the AX-7e is $3.5 while the AX-5 Twenty is $13K. I would consider up to $20K for the used system. I just checked the Ayre website - it does appear that the Ayre warranty is not transferable unless resold by an authorized dealer, so that's a consideration. I have no idea how often AX-5s need warranty service but can tell you that my 12 year old AX-7 has only been sent to Ayre for the "e" upgrade.
