Soundstream Rubicon 600-4

I've heard great things about soundstream. I understand they struggled for a period of time due to the poor performance and problems related to an amplifier line they ran in the past. But as far as I've heard they are coming back strong. I was looking to use the Rubicon 600-4 to power my Image Dynamics 5.25" Chameleon Components at 2ohm. The amp is rated at 150x4 at 2ohm stereo. For channels 3&4 I was going to power a 6.5" ID Midbass Driver to run a 3-way system up front. Trying to decide if this Rubicon 600 is worth investing in or should I throw in the extra dough and get a Soundstream Van Gogh 320.4 which would throw 160watts into 4 channels at 2ohm....

Thoughts, Insight, Recommendations???

I have had rubis and they were all very good, ran a little hot, poped a few fuses, but that was from user strain
