Default difference between um1 and um2 - coming from ex51's

sorry to be a real bother guys, wondering what's the difference in terms of sound/sound signature - between the um1 and um2.

as some of u might have seen, i'm looking for a lush, bassy, warm, musical and fun IEMs, i want to be enveloped in rich & gorgeous sound - this is what i'm striving for.

most have pointed the um2's out. but as i really want to get them now, and since my source isn't really top notch [128-192/256 aac, with a few tracks in 320aac on a 3rd gen ipod, soon to be 4/5th gen] i was thinking of going the um1 route since i already have the funds.

but would i truly benefit from dual drivers [given the extra cost involved - cost/performance ratio]?

and how does the sound signature of these IEMs compare with the sony mdr-ex51, which i've truly come to love, despite popular belief.

cheers & thanks in advance
