When MQA was abundantly available on Tidal, the SE speakers were the best way to make the most of this. Currently MQA is in limbo, with a sadly uncertain future… many of us hope it will reappear in a usable and readily available form, but who knows…

Technically, SE is a great improvement, whether you will enjoy them more is very subjective though. You need to listen for yourself, especially where there such is a massive difference in price - you have to decide whether that difference is worth it for you and can be justified or not. Yes, SE are very good, but .2 are also very good.
