I see. Well, it's impossible to judge if they are worth the money or not. To some folks it definitvely is to others it definitvely isn't.
I know this isn't the clear answer you were looking for but that's how it is. Hence the best thing you can do is trying them for yourself and make your own decision.
All I can add is that the HD800S are nice indeed. Extremly so but Sennheisers entry levels offer an absurd good sound for a relatively low price. So you probably will notice an improvement in many areas but, especially because 1k doesn't seem to be pocket change to you, it most likely won't be worth the money.
