It really just comes down to your budget and how far you plan to take things. If you are trying to buy new and keep it under $500, adding the current model emotiva basx a2 might be the right way to go.
If your budget is larger though, trading in the Emotiva integrated towards something else might be the ticket. That would certainly be the option I would explore before dropping $1100 on an Emotiva XPA 2 (for example).
