Re: New Power Amplifiers??
This discussion has been interesting for me. A PM from Dick mentioned ADA compliance. We have similar laws in some provinces, but they are very weak here in Quebec. I also live in the part of the Province that has stairs EVERYWHERE so I think I'm a bit biased towards thinking lighter is better in all cases.
Here's a pic of the street I live on the corner of... the commercial building are like this the whole way up:

Yes, many newer and larger venues have proper access, but it's not really something you can count on here. Doesn't make me proud to live here, and from my research I've actually joined a petition for greater accessibility in Quebec.
I would say that 90% of 200 person and smaller venues are not accessible, while many 500-1000 person venues are not accessible. This is in the old part of the city, and of course convention centers and large hotels are all modern and accessible.
I'll admit that if the ADA compliance means you can roll everything in everywhere and the issue is only getting stuff into your pickup/van/whatever than the ramp would be all you need.
In terms of your amp choices, I can tell you a Pro8200 will be just as good/bad on power as the RMX - look at the AC draw and you'll see they are just about the same. Modern PFC amps will be better than both of them, but if you're fine now, you'll continue to be fine with most other amps.
