I would guess you could get a stock DNA-1 or a DNA-0.5 Rev. A for about the same price, so unless you really need that extra power I would think the considerable sonic improvements of the Rev. A mods would far outweigh the DNA-1 power advantage. But hey, if you need the power you need the power. The nice thing is you could try a 0.5 Rev. A and if you find you need more power you can sell it with virtually no loss given the constant demand for these amps.
By the way, the DNA-0.5 really puts out more like 125wpc (as per Steve himself), it's just very conservatively rated as probably is the DNA-1. I've had other 100wpc amps in my system and the DNA-0.5 definitely sounded like a relatively bigger and more powerful amp.
Best of luck...
