I can't speak to the CSP3 but I have three CSP2+ --two without and one with the Beeswax caps.

The one with has a bit more of an open midrange and a bit more of dynamic contrasts. Not a huge difference, but as Will noted on the forum, the beeswax caps make you see that there's a bit of a signature to the CSP2+ in its stock non-beeswax cap state.

In my system, there is a definite improvement in sonics. My CSP3 sounds better, it is more natural sounding and more emotionally satisfying. So I suggest that you go for the caps upgrade.
