Cambridge Audio Evo 150 vs Hifi Rose RS520


I've narrowed down my search to get either the Cambridge Audio Evo 150 or Hifi Rose RS520 integrated amp/network streamer. I'd appreciate any thoughts on both. Evo 150 has more inputs/outputs and costs about $700 less, but the RS520 is 250w vs 150w for the Evo. I have Revel Concerta2 F36 loud speakers. They're not the super efficient or high sensitivity, so I'm thinking I might need the extra power of the RS520.

I've never heard the Cambridge, but have sold several of the RS520s, and think they are quite good.  The GAN based amps in the 520 sound very nice, and should be a fun match with your Revels. 
You likely have seen this, but the Stereophile review of the 520 pretty much sums up the unit nicely (small quirks and all.....):
