Is it worth upgrading from the original 580?
It depends on how many you have. I recommend having at least 2 if not 3 580s. If you dont have any others, absolutely YES. I will say this: I like to use the older 580’s as masters because of the easy access switch on the bottom that the new 580 dont have. This would be the only advantage the older one has.
