Well, if I were you and felt about the Aries the way you do, I would simply buy them and be done with it.

The only drawback I can think of is that you might be tempted to try a $2,000 cable, and then you might feel the Aries are no longer the great cable you first thought. Or, you might start looking at your speaker cables and begin wondering what $2,000 might do there to improve the sound still further.

I think many of us reach a point at which upgrade obsession sets in. I know if I were a multimillionaire, I wouldn't stop. But unfortunately I have to draw the line somewhere. With retirement about 13 years away for me, I am now feeling a little uneasy about the money I have spent or will be spending. I am much more price conscious than I was before. But you are in a different situation. If you could be content with the Aries upgrade, and that's a BIG IF, I don't see any harm in dropping another $800 on a pair of ICs. On my last one-week vacation, for example, I dropped $500 on the rental car alone, and now I have only faint memories of the vacation and of the car I drove.
