Zeus vs. Wolcott vs ?

I'm looking for a powerful tube amp to drive my big Ohm's -
rated for 450 watts @ 4 ohms. For various reasons, I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Rogue Zeus or the Wolcott mono's. Because of geography, I will NEVER get a chance to hear the Wolcotts without buying them, so an A-B test will not happen for me.
If you've heard these two, PLEASE give me some feedback!
I understand the differences in the features of these two, and the alleged benefits.
Can you suggest anything else which I'm overlooking?
For various objective and subjective reasons, I have ruled out Manley, BAT, and the many amps coming from the far east. No need to elaborate or get off track here.

What did you end up with? I am curious about the Wolcotts. I don't need that much power but the write up on them has my interested.

I am building a new system. So far I have Talon Raven"C" speakers (89 dB) and an SAS Audio 11A linestage. I am looking for tube monos, and will add a turntable & CDP. I presently have an old Denon DP62L with Grado cartridge.

Used to have a multichannel system driven by an Aragon 8008x5 and a Esoteric DV50, but sold it to finance the new system.

Appreciate your insights in the mono amp search.
