Quite a few of us head-fier's think that the new SF 5 does some things better than the Triple.fi. The Triple.fi is much bigger and can pose fit/comfort issues also. Unless more extended treble is essential you may turn out to be somewhat disappointed.
My SF 5 with an E5, Cardas HPI, bi-flange tips, and 75 ohm impedance adapter is better than Triple.fi sound for a lot cheaper.
Maybe something like this for a LOD,

And if you haven't upgraded tips for the 5 they make a 10% increase in them. The 5, IME, gain a bit more from an amp than the Triple.fi also closing the gap. If you also increased impedance they would probably be a bit better than the Triples except for the treble extension. All three improvements cost about $60 total. Way better value and pretty much equal SQ just a bit different sound.
