Anyone compare Classe CA-M400 vs older CAM 350s ?

I am looking to upgrade to monoblocks with my Magnepan 20.1s from the Cal Audio 2500 MCA (1000w/4ohm in 2 ch mode).

Is there much difference between these monoblocks ?? I buy all used and obviously the 350s price is more atractive. Considering the Ayre V1xe used, but concerned about total power (obviously lusting for new MX-Rs or Classe Omega Omicrons, but too $$$)

My current pre is BelCanto Pre 6, but I eventually plan to upgrade to to Ayre K1xe or Audio Research Ref 2 and run all balanced.

Any thoughts welcome.

I have heard the Classe with Maggies before - both in well set up dealers room with CAM 200 and Maggie 3.6s and at a friends - it was similar to how you describe the 350s. I have not heard the new series though.

Personally I also like the look of the old design better anyway.
