SR-80 or SR-225? Other Grado questions.

Well, there is no place around to audition headphones at all so that is out of the question. I think I will really like the Grado signature, but I have heard a lot of people saying that you should skip the 225s and go straight for the 325i. I do not have enough money for that, so I am trying to decide if the 225s are worth the money. I already have the K81DJs, they just need a new headband. That is why I don't really want to get the SR-80s. I am actually looking for an upgrade.

I listen to a lot of rock. (The Mars Volta, Coheed and Cambria, Dream Theater, etc.)

How long do you think until these phones become "obsolete?" I know you guys upgrade a lot, but I am getting ready to start college and would like something that will last while I am not making money.

Will a PIMETA be a sufficient amp for these phones or am I myself?

I am sure there will be more questions to come. If you can talk me out of this purchase, please do. I really don't like spending money, but I have the bug.

Thanks,
Michael

I'd recommend that you get the SR80's, and save your money to buy something higher up the Grado ladder later, if you end up liking them (325 or above). I wouldn't worry about the Grados becoming obsolete, part of their charm is that that they already are, at least style-wise.
