I'm surprised about the minimal price differences. I would take a look at the Ampere available on the secondary side. While I disagree with Paul Pathiakis regarding the "overkill", he has good a good point: "efficiency" Consumption on the primary side doesn't say much about what you get on the secondary side. Off-topic: For audio gear I'm still in favour of ring core transformer or even normal transformer baser power supplies. However, slowly but surely switched-mode power supplies gain the upper hand, even in my audio home studio. To be honest, I don't really suffer from the meassurable issues caused by switched-mode power supplies, they don't affect audio productions, but actually in the last years I needed to repair more switched-mode power supplies, than taken together all repairs on my audio gear + the audio and video gear when working as an engineer, I had to do within the last decades.
