BK Butler makes a fine amp, under 2k used you have lots of choices. Butler is a good one with just a little bit of tube seasoning. I suspect it would sound excellent.
Vincent audio makes something similar, If you want another small company doing some unique things - you could check out Van Alstine.
If you want class D... plenty of similar options out there. Personally, with powered woofers and ARC doing the EQ. I would go the direction you are, solid state with good current, with a little flavor (depending on your pre-amp).
But if you are going to get class D, I would get one of the less expensive online companies, unless you pay the uber bucks for the companies that MIGHT be making significant changes to the modules.
