I only got my MS1i today, but from what I can tell, the bass impact on these is about equal to that of the Portapro, but more refined. The MS1i also has a more refined top-end, lovely and sparkly. And the soundstage is much bigger! Beats them Portapros all-round, I'd say.
However, my experience with Gradessandros tells me that they leak a lot, compared to the Portapros which I'd say are usually not that intrusive on, say, a train. I'd say then that the Portapro probably has better isolation than the MS1.
I guess biggest thing will be what you want to use them for. Gradessandros aren't that suited to portable endeavours - they don't fold, they leak a lot and their cables are huge and stiff. That said, they will definitely outshine the Portapros in a home rig. If you want something that'll be good both for indoors and out, I say keep your portapros. They're still damn good cans.
