To JBL amp or not to JBL amp...that is the question.

Hey Everybody,
I recently blew out the driver's door tweeter in my 01 Solara with factory JBL. When I took the panel off to test it I realized that the 6.5's weren't still stock anyway, so no reason to spend big $$$ trying to find OEM. So, this weekend I wired Infinity Kappa 60.11cs and 693.11i and everything sounds even better than before.
Question: I'm looking at installing a Pioneer avh-x3600bhs while I'm at it, mostly because I really want the aux in for the iPod (but all the extra bells/whistles are nice, too!). How does the factory JBL amp compare to an integrated HU amp? I DON'T want to wire a new external amp, so the choice is really either stock JBL versus 22RMSx4 Pioneer (2 ohm speakers, so not sure if this shifts???).
Thanks!
