Two Krell FPB 350mc versus one Krell FPB 600c

What would be the advantage, if any, of using two Krell FPB 350mc monoblocs instead of a Krell FPB 600c (two channel)? That's two monoblocks at 350 watts apiece versus a stereo amp at 600 watts per channel.

I'm wondering what the advantage of monoblocks are if you have to stick within a budget -- since two monoblocks can cost twice as much as one stereo amp of equal wattage per channel, is there enough of an advantage to go for monoblocks of lower power?

It seems FPB600c vs. FPB650MC would be a better comparison. I've been using the 600C with good results but often wondered how it would sound if I can eliminate the speaker cable variable with the 650MC monoblocks with shortest connection possible...

Depending on the loudness of the music and designe of the speakers one is playing, I think having the extra power from 600C may not be an issue and 350MC would be a better choice. However, I went with a stereo amp with single stand and knowing that the system will handle most of the musical challenges with more POWER ready to go...
