Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst?

Just wondering if anyone has compared these directly? It seems from what I have read that the 28b's have a significant edge over the 7bsst's more than just more power. I have listened to the 7bsst's but not the 28's. If you do not necessarily need the extra power but have the money, is it still worth going with the 28's?

Thanks

I can't run my 28s with my pre past 9:00(I could but she'd
rock the neighbourhood+mine).
A couple of thousand watts,you could fill up a 300-500 seat bar and with plenty of sound to spare.
Now if I ever get a bigger house,WE ARE MORE THAN READY.
I was ready with the 4s+7s let alone these superb 28s.

Larry Greenhill in Stereophile stated that by BYPASSING the
rear circuit breaker in the 28,that into 4ohms,she'd do 1800w
continues for 10 to 20 seconds before the 15A BREAKER would trip.
Bryston chose an 8ohm rating because of regulartory agencies
test amplifiers under HOME CONDITIONS and that it would NOT
trip the average home breaker.
