Maggie 20.1 - Bi-Amp vs. More power


I've been looking at tube amps for my 20.1's. I've read a lot here about 20.1 owners recommending very large amounts of power (300WPC+), others feel bi-amping is required (I'm sure bi-amping with lots of power is the ideal). Before getting to specific amps I wanted opinions on a more theoretical question. Assuming one could find a 175WPC Stereo amp and a 350W Mono block (that sounded the same) which do you think you would prefer, passive bi-amping with a pair of the Stereo amps or single-amping with a pair of the mono blocks? (assume the cost is the same)

My room is fairly large but I don't often listen very loud. I like guitar, piano, rock, jazz, vocals, a little classical.

I realize this isn't quite real world but I'd be interested in what maggie owners thought about this comparison. Thanks for your thoughts.
