To RSP1A or not?

Hello Community participants.
I've owned the original RSP1 since before dirt and it does a pretty good job in my opinion. I use it to primarily to listen to the amateur HF bands (180 thru 15 meters) as well as some occasional shortwave programs and WWV for propagation. The RSP1 is fed with a 30 ft single copper wire (indoor) into LMR240 coax.
I'm curious if the later model RSP1A would offer overall better reception, lower noise floor and improved general listening experience. The specs laid out side by side are somewhat equal with the exception of the 14 vs 12 bit ADC, notch filtering and .5ppm TCXO.
To RSP1A or not, that is the question.
Cheers.
