Coda mono blocs vs. Pass Labs X250

Okay, I am really looking at these two amps and can go either way for my Focus. after initial recommendations I actually found people selling these and they are within my budget.
SHOOT!!!

The older Coda gear needs modification, but the best part of that is that Coda will do, and back those mods! The newer S gear has most of the mods you'll want and need though. Coda makes some pretty tough gear.

It takes what some may call a fault of the X250 (absolute neutrality) and adds a level of sweetness while maintaining total openness, transparency and dynamic range. Truly a reference piece!

I purchased the X250 and i am in the process of evaluating its performance. It appears to be much more revealing than the CJ I was using previously and it has gained control over the 12 inch woofers on my Legacy Focus. All in all I think I will be a happy camper.
