Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead

I am planning on buying a McIntosh system. It is a system I have been wanting a very long time. No need to suggest any other brand... I am set on this one.

I am going to get the CP 12000 preamp for sure. However, I can’t decide between a pair of MC611’s monoblocks or the MC-462 stereo amp. It seems like for $6k, the mono blocks are not much more in price and I get a lot more audio for the extra $6k.

Talk me out of buying the monoblocks! Tell me your experience if you had both? Do you like stereo amps better after owning monoblocks? Tell me why.

1. Cross talk usually above -80dB and above. ears cannot perceive. Does it matter ?

2. Mono blocks; more cables, Near to speaker advantage? no preamp also have cables.

3. Separate Power source is advantage in mono blocs. Where as Stereo's also have separate power.

4. Equal Measurement of 2 mono blocks is also matters in SQ.

Different opinion is welcome.
