I went with the PASS because of power, very good reviews, very recent design and domestic USA service. Moon will need to go to Canada for service, but I didn't have a problem sending a Classe there for service years back, though.
Denver AD ListenUp likes to pair these with B&W and has featured them at the last couple RMAFs with good reviews. I heard first hand from attendees, but you can probably find some on-line reviews and comments.
I do like their design. If I were to have another system, they'd most likely be the integrated I'd pick.

Many people think that 600i and 700i sound boring and not involving, thus poor interest on used markets. On the other hand, Stereophile measured a "superb performance". Hard to say..
