Worth upgrading from MC611 to MC901?


I have the 600 W mcintosh mono blocks (mc611) and I'm considering upgrading to the MC901 dual mono amplifier (600 w ss, 300 watt tube) as a way to Biamp b&w 802D3.

Is this worthwhile or is there a better alternative?

My local dealer was messing around and bi-amped a pair of 805D4 with an MC275 on the top end and one of the two channel integrated amps on the bottom (MAC7200 I think) and it was pretty impressive how much it changed the sound. Don’t ask me about the wiring/setup as I don’t know but that showed me that there is a real potential for something like the 901. 
 

I think the good and bad thing will be the tweeter will more or less be adjustable. I find I don’t do well with that as I am always messing around lol. I can leave stuff alone.
