350mW at 10V is overkill.  You won't see an improvement with more power.  It will just be louder. Also, I read that they improved the components between the Mk 3 and Mk4, so the Mk 6 should be different in more ways than just power.

We're a good bit off topic so I'll cut this here -

The MKVI is like 2 MKIII amps in 1 with higher end components all around and different tuning. There is a distinct, impossible not to hear, difference between the amps when volume matched. Even my sister and friend participated and volunteered the information without me soliciting it via direct questioning.
