I went to Bristol to listen to the non-upgraded and upgraded 861 and 7200's and I would say imho if it was a choice of the two I would have gone with the 7200 upgrade first. In fact that was the way I was going to proceed. However having had a quick demo at the same time... I upgraded the 7200's for 8000's. and can only say if you can afford/squeeze them in... Go for it, you won't regret it.

I use 8k's with a solid screen and they stand proudly tall next to it.  1. 8k's - just accomodate them, squeeze them in, they will reward you! 2. Then later, get the 861v8 to push everything to current reference.
