15w/8530-k01 + D2905/9500 Or 15w/8530-k00 + D2905/9700

I am thinking of making these my next project after a two way floor stander.

Which one should I go for? is the 9700 worth its asking price.

Should I go for the 9500 plus Hovland caps? or 9700 and cheap cap?

I would go for 9700 with SCR mkp caps. (Btw this will be my next project, with two 18W/8546 )

I've used the 15W/8530-K01 in a closed cabinet of 15 litre combined with a 9900. But I think the 9500 or 9700 will also be a good choice. All Scanspeak stuff is expensive, price wise the 9500 is the better choice 90-95% of the perfomance of 9700.
