bitsnbob,
Nice report; your story and situation sound very similar to mine. I debated the upgrade in the fall, as it was a daunting expense for me, but I have not regretted the upgrade ever; not once, not even for a minute. It would have been very interesting to compare the 120 and 220 side by side. Like you, I thought the D120 was amazing (and it is, really) but the Pro series, is a substantial step up, in all the ways you mention.
Give yours about 50 or 60 hours; the treble will settle down. Be careful also with cables. The Pro is, IME, much more sensitive to all cabling, cable arrangement, and source quality. For me, those things had a noticeable effect on the treble, exactly in the frequency range you mention.
