Well the Red Dragon is two channels for $2000 whereas the 5000 is 5 channels for $600. So the Red Dragon has a per channel cost of roughly 8X the Outlaw. I'd hope you get something for the extra $$. Also you're comparing 500 watts/channel to 180 watts/channel (assuming 4-ohms). It's pretty impressive that they are even in the same conversation performance wise.

It would be interesting to see how the 2200 Monoblocks would stack up against the Red Dragon. Of course you'd need two to get stereo which will run you $700. Unfortunately they seem to be out of stock...Hrmmmm...Something new in the works???
