Pass Labs Power amps choices

I am selling my Krell EVO components and moving over to Pass labs.
I just snagged a very nice X-1 for a song and now need a power amp to move my Revel Ultima Salon 2 speakers.
So my thoughts are either 250 or 350 stereo amps. Question is...how much different/better are the .5 and .8 varieties over the older x-250 or x-350 amps?
Many thanks.
Aloha!

The Pass Labs point 8 series draws 50% more AC power than the point 5 series, and runs hotter if that matters to you.
