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.

It does help, thanks Lewinskih01.

At this point I've committed to the RB-1070 (from a seller on this site). Btw - a local dealer advised that the 1070 and 1080 are being discontinued in favor of the new RB-1500 series.

The RB-1080 (2 x 200 wpc) retailed for $1000 while the new RB-1582 (also 2 x 200 wpc) retails for $1500. I'm interested to hear how they compare.
