Pass vs. Bryston with MG3.6´s?

How would you describe the sonic difference between the Pass XA.5-series and Bryston SST2? Both seem to be a popular choice with Magnepans.

If I won the Power Ball Lotto, I would select almost any speaker around Pass Labs. Yeah... Pass Labs is pricier, but what the hell, if you won the lotto.

IF I had a lot more money i would have bought the Pass amps. BUT I didn't have a lot more money so the Bryston will do. (and I am happy)
