You do get headroom though, which is going to be meaningful. An amp you run close to its output threshold sounds different than an amp which can "relax" because it's got power to spare. And you can run more speakers, I imagine. Looks to me like the amp would front-end to a bigger rig, which is probably the point of it, really.
