Levinson Amp Experts, I need your help please

I was considering the Levinson 332, 333, 333.5 or 431 power amps. Is there that much of a sonic difference between these models? Will they run as hot as a Pass X-250 when pushed hard? Are there any reliability issues with any of the models? Is the .5 upgrade worth the price? Are there any other power amp options that I should consider?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

I'd consider going to the 334/335/336 series. I own a
335 and am very pleased with its performance. I
previously used a Levinson 27.5 and the 335 is definitely
more powerful. The earlier 331/332/333 series has
been criticized for being lean, analytical and lacking
in bloom/air. The later series is allegedly superior,
though I've never owned the older models.
