Some advice requested on upgrading from my Proceed

It's time to dump my beloved Proceed AVP. The AVP 2 upgrade is apparently no longer available, and HK has killed off yet another line -- Proceed is history.
However, they also have an (unadvertised) upgrade offer that allows me to trade-in my AVP for a Lexicon MC8 or MC12. Net cost - my AVP plus $3,000 for an MC8, or my AVP plus $5,000 for an MC12 ($1,000 more for either if I want balanced, which I don't). Offer expires at the end of March (so they say).
So, are there any other AVP owners here who have contemplated this deal? What did you do and why. And, are there any Lexicon owners that reviewed both the 8 & 12 - what did you choose, and why? Is the 12 worth $2,000 more than the 8 in real life situations?
I don't need any input on going with other mfgs., such as Meridian, Sonic Frontiers, etc. That's been well covered in other threads.
Thanks.
