Anyone heard the Odyssey monos vs Plinius amps?

I own an SA-250 MK IV, but have been hearing such great things about these Odyssey mono blocks. I'd love to switch to monos, but I favor the warmth, bottom end authority, and the dimensional characteristics of the Plinius, especially the depth of the soundstage. Will I sacrifice these qualities by moving to the Stratos monos? Will they even hold a candle to the Plinius or am I just dreaming?
Thanks in advance.

......and regret it for the rest of your life! The Stratos monos, if bought through a dealer, will cost 3X as your Plinius! As far as performance comparison between them, that's up to you to find out. In my opinion, the Stratos are untouchables! I have a Threshold Stasis 500 amp designed by Nelson Pass himself, it does not not get close to the performance of the Stratos, go figure!

ADDENDUM TO MY POST: I am sorry that I neglected to add the ff: My brother had a Plinius SA-250 MKII which is the basis of my comparison. Of course, The MK IV could be different. But IMO, the Stratos Monoblocks sounds much better on my system than Plinius SA-250 MKII or the Stasis S500.
