I just pulled trigger buying a MS2e from Alessandro. The MS2e was the headphone I intended buying before I acquired my slightly used SR325e.
Base on the comments I got from muzic4life, the MS2e is a slightly mellower version of the SR325e with smoother voicing across the FR. I like my SR325e very much, especially when it is paired with my 5751 / 832a transformer output amp in the office. However, I find the SR325e sound a bit grainy when paired with my home SS setup and think I can enjoy something smoother. With the MS2e I also don't have to transport my SR325e between home and office.
I nearly decided buying the PS500e, but decided against it because I probably don't like a "dark" Grado. People are saying the SR325e is already 95% of a PS500e so I decided not to spend the additional.
Another attractive point of the MS2e is it is still available with a 1/4" plug from Alessandro. My SR325e also has a 1/4" plug.
I hope I can received the MS2e within 2 weeks and do some comparison.
That is odd because my SR325e has the small plug, not the 1/4" one. I am sure enjoying this E version 325. Grado, at least in this case, really made some major improvements over the "i" version I had before. I am real happy I decided to get the E instead of another i version.
