McCormack vs. BAT

Hello, I am considering a new amp, a McCormack DNA-250 or a BAT-vk 250, can anyone compare the two or offer a better option? Thank you.

BAT tends to be a little darker and not as resolving. The McCormack amps are detailed with just a little midrange bloom. Shakey

Right now I have a GCPH directly into a Parasound A21 and Focal 826W speakers. I looked at these two amps because... they have a lot of power and seem to have good reputation, but I am open to anything in their respective price ranges 2500 to 3500 used. Thank you.
