Crown Power amps?

I have an older XTI1000 and an Old EV 1.0KW which has been intermittent and getting put into practice space duties. The XTI has been a solid performer all around. Now I see these XLS amps and have to wonder how they perform compared to my XTI. This is a small time bar band PA and usually a one man load in. The weight factor and price is important to me. What are the basic differences I may notice between the XTI1000 and the XLS1500 in a real world application. The only thing that jumps out at me in the specs is the damping factor. The XTI is only $100 more and only 10 pounds heavier but the features and weight point to the XLS as the improved model. Any opinions? Thanks.
