Thought on potential Maggie upgrade

I posted something similar on a less specific forum but am hoping I can get a more useful and informed response from the more educated and experienced `Maggy-ophiles' here...

I have trialed MMGs and soon after bought 1.6s which I have been happy with although after ~20 years the itch to upgrade is growing. I enjoy the delicate treble and ethereal quality of the polite precise upper ranges. The detachment of the music from the panels is great although the imaging could be better. I don't miss bass slam as I have another setup that works well for that type of listening. I have the ceiling height and room space to consider the bigger options but my budget limits to pre-owned gear and/or DIY. I listen to streamed stuff via a generic source, so nothing wildly esoteric. I frequent the DIYAudio Pass forum and building amps and preamps is an accompanying process; i.e. this aspect is covered.

Having chewed on this in isolation I'd welcome input from the collective.
The more obvious options appear to be:
A. wait for an opportunity to pick up a set of 3.6R/2.7R or maybe 3.7 panels so as to experience a real ribbon. Or,
B. build a stacked pair of MMG, LRS, 0.7 or maybe even 1.6/1.7 depending upon how it adds up ($ and feet).
C. And occasionally there are Tympanis that come up for sale.

your thoughts appreciated,
cheers
Beardy
