YBA Passion vs YBA integre dt integrated????

I'm considering a new amp to push my JM Lab Micro Utopias. I heard YBA matches very well with JM Lab product. I heard at CES the demo of their new Utopia's was done with the Passion integrated amp. This speaks alot to their confidence in this product. Is it worth the difference in price or is the smaller integrated adequate? How do the YBA integrateds compare to the Plinius 8200 integrated?

WOW! I hooked up and have burned in the Passion amp. It sounds fantastic! It's got about 30 hours on it, but it sounds great. The midrange isn't quite as strong as my Cary tubes, but the whole experiance is fantastic. It's what the music was meant to be.

I'm still hoping that someone here can directly answer Sea2's question about YBA vs. Plinius 8200. I own the 8200 mkII and cannot believe its stunning performance. To my ears, it's the first piece of equipment I've had that seems to get better every day, that I still actually look forward to going home to (sad life, eh?!).
