Need help B&K AVR-202 or Rotel RSX-972??

I am trying to put together a second room and am in the market for a used receiver. I am looking at the B&K AVR-202 and the Rotel RSX-972. I have read many reviews but have never heard either. Either one can be found used for $650-850. I want to drive Magnepan MMGs and the new MMG-Ws. This will be for HT only. I will have a second 2ch system. Both of the above receivers recieve good reviews. Can anyone compare or contrast these receivers? Anyone tried them with Maggies or 4ohm speakers? Any advice or comments will be welcomed.

I am going through the same decision making process. I currently am using the MMG's front and will use the MMGW for rear with the MMGC for center channel.
I was told that the Rotel will handle the 4 ohm requirements of the Maggies better. Let me know what you hear.
