I was wondering if this amp was worth a ****. I know Cadence speakers get some love from a few guys around here, but didn't know about this series of amps. Anyone with any experience or comments? Here are the specs:

Right now I'm using an Alpine MRP-F450 for my mids/highs and a JBL 600.1 for my Kappa Perfect 12" sub. The Alpine does about 70W x 4 into 4 ohms, and the JBL does 300W x 1 into 4 ohms. Do you guys think it would be smart to replace the two amps I have now with this 5 channel Cadence amp? It's rated a bit higher than the Alpine on the 4 channel side, and equal to the JBL on the mono channel. But like I said, I don't know anything about these amps (whether they're overrated, or what not). Opinions?
