Did I get a good deal/upgrade?

I recently bought 2 RF-3s, 1 RC-3, and 2 RS-3s manufactured in 2000 for $470.  The speakers are in perfect working condition with perfect covers, and all accessories and manuals.  I bought them from the original owner.  These are replacing 2 VF-35s, 1 VC-25, and 2 VS-14s that I purchased new in 2009.  My questions are, did I get a good deal and is this a clear upgrade?  I think yes on both counts, but wanted confirmation from the experts.  I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  Thanks!

Are you liking your reference deal, and do you still think the RF-3's are an upgrade over the VF-35's?

 

Yes.  I am very happy with them.  The center channel and surrounds are a more noticable upgrade than the RF-3's, but the RF-3's are still a step up.  Overall, I think the RF-3's provide more definition and clarity than the VF-35's.  I am also noticing a fuller front sound stage with the reference and the surrounds stand out more than they did before (in a good way).  I enjoyed the VF-35's for almost 5 years, but I recently upgraded my receiver and really wanted to get into the reference line.  I think this was a great first step to that end.  Derrick is right, there is just something about the reference line.  Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.  Thanks for all the input, guys!

One quick comment of FH speakers, if they are to small and don't match the mains, you will not get anything out of them.  I tried a pair of small cube FH speaker with my VF 36's and it did not work.
