Mono blocks vs 2ch stereo single amp / Krell

I curently have a Krell system with an FPB-400cx amp with cast innerconnects. Problem: I am moving to a different home where it is going to be difficult if not impossible to locate the amp in the center of the system. If I go to Mono FPB-450mcx amps with cast connections The problem will be solved. Is the sound quality worth the added cost or would you just figure a way to remodel the home to accomodate the single amp in the middle?
Any experiance out there would be appreciated.

I once had the 400cx. I liked it alot so I upgraded to the 450mcx. The difference was easily heard with more bass, bigger soundstage, and less strain. Yes I thought the upgrade was worth the money but I also had speakers that were hard to drive.
I was using cast cable with both amps. I guess it would come down to your budget.
