In threads from fall 2016 there are many posts regarding the change in sound during the Pro upgrade. @Wdw posted on the 400 > 440 upgrade specifically. I think that, although there will be differences for upgrades to different models, the nature and character of the sound changes was largely consistent. And not all positive, so watch for those opinions a well. @woodstock was one who was not so pleased, and he and I spoke on the telephone about it a few times. His opinion is interesting and valid; I just want to point out that there were reactions both positive and negative about the changes.
I can't remember the thread titles but I posted there (some really long, wordy text bombs) so you may be able to find threads through my name as well. On balance, most felt the upgrade gave them detail, dynamics and clarity that they loved. Personally, I would not go back, even though I loved the Expert amp sound.
