Belles 150A ref V2 vs Bryston 4BSST2

I need a good power amp. Can anyone kindly advise Belles 150A ref V2 vs Bryston 3 or 4BSST2 sonically ? Both had fabulous reviews. The Bryston is much pricier but does that mean it is a totally different league altogether? Is it fair to compare these 2 ? Does it mean that Belles 150 is no match for the Bryston sonically becos of the price category?

Bryston has improved over 4BSST w/4BSST2
Less analytical/creamier mids & highs

I find Bryston to be transparent & musical
Compared to others I've had..
Musical Fidelity,etc
I'm a musician,Bryston sounds the most accurate w/no colorations(to me).
However to own Bryston BP17 preamp w/phono+4BSST2 amplifier & optional remote comes to about $10,000
Rather excessive I feel
