Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos?

After months of research and mental anguish ;) I've narrowed down my search for new amplification to the two in the title. There are obvious differences like the fact that one is a stereo amp while the other are monoblocks. Anyway, if you had to, which option would you go with and why? Thanks!

I know the kismet monos I power my modified cerwin vega D-9’s with control, and make them sound amazing, even more so than the old Rotel rb1090 with much more power I had used for them. What’s nice w the odyssey, they are upgradable. Havvy Valentine’s Day y’all!

Not just me, but any audio tech will tell you, when you bridge a stereo amp into mono "everything takes a hit" except you get more watts.
