alpine pdx1.1000 or mrp m1000

98 bmw 328i, w/ alpine 9856 HU

OK, i just bought an alpine type X, after i sold my  type r 12's x2, box, and amp to a freind..........the rms wattage for the sub is 1000 watts rms.....so i'd be pretty happy w/ a 1000 watt class D mono-block amp.....

questions is, i work at bestbuy and i can get the mrp-m1000 vpower 1000w rms (@ 2 ohms) for  around $150 w/ discount and a gift card.......Howvere everywhere ive read online people say it will do an ok job pushing the sub, and may cut out from time to time.....people do say teh PDX1.100 is a better amp overall for SQ and SPL, which i belive. However you can't get it for less than $400 Dollars anywhere, even on ebay. Im a college student so eveyr penny saved helps, until i graduate. So i can't seem to justify paying and extra  $200-$300 for an amp, that is the same rms wattage as the mrp-m1000, when i can get it so cheap....

keep in mind...I orgially had 1 underpowerd (pushing 300 watts) type r and it was ok for me,,,,and then i got my second typeR from my roomate and they were each pushing 300w, so i had a total system power of 600W rms ttotal (still underpowered) and it was pretty dam good for me......

so which one? and other recomnendations for 1000w amp around the $250 region?
