Differences between taramps bass5k and md5000.1

Want to know what differences there are between these two amps. Reason is I either have a .67 or a 2.67 initial load and have read the taramps don't like lower impedance than they are rated for. The bass 5k is 1 ohm and the MD 5000.1 comes in 1 ohm and 2 ohm version. There is a dedicated subsonic on the bass 5k but I was reading the MD has both a hpf and lpf which u can use the hpf as the subsonic and the lpf normally at the same time. I see alot of videos of ppl running the MD on subs so I'd assume it would be fine? The bass 5k has bass boost and all that shit I don't use anyways , and the MD is like $50 less ( maybe because no bass boost ?). Anyone have any if these amps and can shed some light on my dilemma before I order one of them?

Bass is dedicated subwoofer amp...MD is a full range amp which is why it has the HPF....I ran the MD5K for a while, switched to a Wolfram 3K. Much happier overall, lows are so much better along with quality of the bass.
