Sony TA-FA30ES vs TA-N80ES/TA-E80ES

Hi

Not looking for a new amplifier, bút... My current situation:
- Dali Grand speakers in combination with Sony TA-FA30ES amplifier --> me= happy kiddo, I love my setup!
- Dali Grand Diva speakers in combination with Douk Audio M1 Pro amplifier and Douk Audio P1 pre amplifier --> don't shoot me, but me= also happy kiddo! This sounds amazing, I bought (as mentionned a long time ago on this forum somewhere) that Douk Audio system as a 'temporary solution', but I'm honestly really satisfied with it...

At the moment, I know of a Sony set TA-N80ES with TA-E80ES for sale... Due to distance, not really up for testing on my speakers, on pictures the set looks good - including wooden panels. The amp has been checked, has new capacitors and new end relays (hopefully correct terms, English is not my native language). Would I notice any improvement whatsoever when buying that set? Does anyone here have any experience with that set versus an other Sony ES set?

Really looking forward to hearing experiences/advice...

Thanks!

Edit: I just checked a few songs on the Dali Grand Diva's, switching between the Sony TA-FA30ES and the Douk Audio... I honestly really can't tell a difference. Yes, one difference, the Douk Audio seems to be the more powerful one. Stated 2 x 160 watts, to be taken with a grain of salt, but still. I think that on the Dali Grands, the TA-FA30ES seems to be louder?
