Rotel RB-1070 vs RB-1080

The obvious (to me anyway) difference between these two amps is that the 1070 is rated at 130 wpc and 1080 at 200 wpc.

My question is, assuming both amps are fully capable of driving my speakers, does the 1080 produce better audio or simply more more power?

Thanks folks.

I have the RB-1080, and driving my B&W P5's, it's high damping factor, combined with the additional power made it a clear choice over the RB-1070. The beefier power supply alone should make for at least bit more solid low-end. I could hear no difference in the mid's and high's of the two amps.
