From what I read the MC462 has 66% dynamic headroom / 3.0dB. Also noticed on the meters 900 mark , and 1.8K mark after the 450 watts.
The MC312 has 27% dynamic headroom / 2.3dB. In this case meters has 600 mark after the 300 watts.

This I think there is more reserve power to handle peaks as needed. Maybe this will be more effortless when playing music
