The only way to find out is to actually get the S.fi5Pro for personal testing.
I am very reluctant to post my ratings of the IEMs I've tried before (CX300, iM616, ER6i, ER4P, ER4P w/ PS cable, E4c, E500) simply because my tastes have changed with every IEM change. Your ears adapt to the new sound and as a result, you listen differently. IPodPJ's case is a classic one.
Also, there's the whole 'ignorance is bliss' thing: If you haven't listened to a high end pair of headphones before, you might for example think that your E4c are already very detailed. Then you rate the E4c with detail of 9/10, which is untrue. More examples: I thought the E4c had smooth mids until I got the E500; thought the K701 were extremely detailed, until I got my 404, etc...
This system is flawed, but unfortunately, it's the best we've got for the time being short of buying every single earphone in the world.

If not: I have not heard the Super.fi 5 Pro but your new ratings seems ok to me in terms of lows/mids/highs quality ratings if you consider it to be so -but the quantity ratings seems WAY off from what I have seen anywhere else regarding the Super.fi's.. In any case maybe it's time for you to change your avatar then
