The difference between 5000's and 5200's is subtle IMHO. If you didn't like the 5000's you probably won't like the 5200's. I downgraded from 5200's to 5000's and don't miss the 5200's one bit even though at the time, I loved the 5200's having upgraded from 33's. But I've come to the conclusion that my ears are shot (or maybe merely average) so ymmv.
