DT770 Pro: still undecided - 80 vs 250 amped | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

I'm pretty much set on buying DT770 Pros, but damn I can't pick the "ohmage". I will only use them with a desktop PC, amped (Fiio E09K).

From what I've read, most people are choosing between 80s and 250s. I would probably take the 250s, but it seems that they lack bass compared to 80s and I definitely don't want to miss that. Is that correct?

How does bass and treble compare between the two?
What about soundstage?
What is the most noticeable difference between them?
Are 250s bassier than ATH-A900s (my current closed cans)?
Is the 32-ohm version even worth considering in my case?

The DT770 Pro 80-Ohm only have slightly more bass then the 250-Ohm, I prefer the 250-Ohm.
I'm fairly sure the DT770s have more bass then the A900s
I prefer my ATH-A900Xs over the DT770s.

I wouldn't even consider the 32ohm version; even if you wanted/needed to go mobile, you still have your E09K. I have the 80ohm version and the bass is great.. I haven't tried the 250ohm ones. You can really point out where the instruments are coming from, so soundstage is pretty good (at least in this price range).
