I'd go for Purifi due to efficiency. In performance terms, both will render incresible results and you will not notice a difference. Look at specific features you may want other than transparency.

Really, it's watts per channel, 12V trigger, and maybe the physical size, balanced vs unbalanced in, maybe the type of speaker connectors. All the good amps have amazing measurements already.
For wpc, you want to estimate your desired SPL at the MLP and use your speaker sensitivity to figure out your minimum wpc.
AudioLab Measurements show excellent results with the proto version. I think it's more than enough to get an idea of the final version which can only be improved)
The Benchmark is also twice as expensive as the Soncoz With fairly comparable performance...
Check your power needs,features,ease of interaction with seller,warranty,your personal aesthetics,reselling value,etc.
Sound quality will be of no concern with either of those.
A Boxem Purify power amp has more power for half the price of a Benchmark. It has auto on/off which I would really like, and like the AHB2 has adjustable gain settings which would be great with my RME ADI-2 DAC.
