Both amps have plenty to power to run both Jacks on one channel.
Crown has DSP, but costs $100 more and less power. $500
QSC has no DSP, but cost $100 less and has more power. $400
Or, you could get the Crown XLS Drivecore 1500. It has DSP (not as extensive as XTI), but same power as XTI and is the same price as the QSC. $400.
All three above will run both Jacks one one channel and have a channel left over for other use. I would chose the XLS1500. Cheaper, yet has the Crown warranty.
If you don't need the extra channel and/or just want to run stereo - check out the XLS 1000 - 225 watts per side at 8 ohms - only $300.
I've used the QSC GX5 - good amp.
I've used and still use the Crown XLS 1000 and 1500 - good amps.
I would go with one of the Crowns due to the warranty.
Also, the XLS amps weigh 8.5 pounds.....QSC is about 30.

You can get brand new "B-stock" Crown XTi 1000 for $300 shipped on ebay. Has full warranty. New QSC GX5 goes for about $330 shipped on ebay.
I prefer the XTi, obviously.

I am pushing my OT 1x12's with a GX5 and it is great
I have the 2512 deltalite drivers and a DRPA+ for processing
The GX5 drives these with ease
