Speaking to the distributor here in HK he says that that PS series (in his opinion) is the upgrade version of the RS series, whereas the GS series is very different and more like an upgrade from the SR series.
Basically saying if I like the RS2 sound I should consider the PS2000e as an upgrade. Any thoughts?
I cannot comment on the RS-2 sound. I do own the Hemp, RS-1x, GS3000e, & PS2000e (check my ‘signature’). To me: the PS2000e is sonically the best Grado headphone, the GS3000e gives me ‘95%’ of the PS2000e. Where I notice the superiority of the PS2000e over the GS3000e is: deeper bass extension, slightly ‘clearer’ soundstage.
Well, those 2 characteristics are pretty important.
How would they differ if one was not to compare whether they were better or not? Would the GS3000e be warmer (I've read that the Cocobolo wood may add to it).
Also doing quick research and seeing that the cups on the PS2000e start to discolor?

I don’t know if I would quite agree with his plot line.
On this question though I think the only answer really should be the PS2000e which was an upgrade across the board. It’s closest relative is the PS1000/e.

The discoloration or fading of the black chrome is fixable in moments with Formula 11 Top Coat spray. Boom, instant new. It also keeps it from happening for a long time.
I got that PS2000e when they first came out. The photo is not old at all. Looking and sounding great.
PS can do nothing for real scratches but boy does that finish come back to life.

The driver for the PS2000e is specifically designed to operate in the chrome-plated housing of the PS2000e. That for the GS3000e, in the cocobolo housing of the GS3000e. The PS2000e is not a ‘coolly’ tuned version of the GS3000e or vice versa. As for discolouration of PS2000e cups, not an issue for me. [Wipe with chamois lightly damp with water.] I also put the PS2000e in its clamshell case after each use.

One thing to consider is the weight. The PS2000e are really heavy. And all the weight is "on" the ears, to the the sides. All of the Grados I had were confortable to me, except the PS2000e.
