Come to San Francisco! I can offer a spectacular experience that could extend into the evening hours and a 2nd bottle of wine! If you need more of a reason to come, consider this: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/21/travel/san-francisco-see-eat-do.html
Air travel is relatively cheap, and more than worthwhile if it includes hearing SOUND Lab speakers!
Parker Guest House is next door, and provides a private entryway through their gardens to my abode.
The rooms are very different, making it difficult to give you a definitive answer. I can say that the larger panels in the much larger room have brought the sound quality in the two rooms closer together, although the sound stage at the Ranch id definitely larger.
Dr. West says no sonic difference. Personally, I think perhaps the Ultimate frame results in a bit more efficiency. Since the panel is more rock solid in the frame, all the energy is converted into sound. If the panel has any movement at all in a less solid surround, some energy may be lost. This doesn’t necessarily mean it sounds different sonically.

Hi John- Thanks for the suggestion, it really makes sense to maintain the elegance of the Ultimate design.

I’m pleased to announce that my new panels finally arrived, after a six month wait. I was worth it!
However, a bit of a surprise- what I thought I had ordered would be identical the original panels, I now have 845 panels! While unexpected, perhaps a blessing. The Bass Focus design definitely superior, but the bigger panels also go deeper and are more efficient, presenting an easier load for my Pass Lab XA-60.8 amplifiers.They no longer strain on higher loud notes, and handle bass with aplomb. Overall, a great step up- the best sound ever in my 20+ years of Sound Labs!
Roger noted that many U-1PX owners have done this, and sent photos.
Here’s mine:
