Confused about Krell FPB 300 400 200 Amplifiers

I have auditioned a Krell FPB-300 and an FPB-200. There was a large difference between these two amplifiers. I am in the market for a new Krell amp, but I can't decide between the FPB-300cx and the FPB-400cx. I understand there will be a large difference between these two amplifiers. However, I would be satisfied if the FPB-300cx performed as well as the FPB-300. So, I have two basic questions:

1) Is the FPB-300cx comperable to the FPB-300?

2) How much benefit is there to monoblocks.

Any and all input will be appreciated

Thanks,

If your other components and speakers are revealing enough, Monoblocks will give you much better sound than a multi-channel amp.
It would be helpful if you posted your entire system so we can give you better advice, help you decide whether monoblocks would be over-kill in your system or not, whether you could use the extra 100 watts that the 400 would provide, etc.
