simply put... is there anything better than PCP&C Silencer 750 for $200?

How exactly is the ST75ZF superior to the Silencer 750Q? The ST75ZF doesn't have as many sleeved cables, no 8-pin PCIe connectors, has quad 12V rails, and it's not quite as efficient at 20-80% loads.

Over all build quality of Etasis over Seasonic is like night and day. Not that Seasonic is bad, but you can't exactly call them "server grade." And the newest revision of the Zeus does have fully sleeved cables and an 8-pin PCI-e and the actual efficiency of the two are not too far from each other.
EDIT: Sorry, emailed SilverStone and they said they did sleeve all of the cables, but didn't go to the 8-pin PCI-e on these units because, and I quote, "these are Nvidia SLI certified units."

I have Purchased a few (10) of these Units, And they are an excellent PSU and is very well appointed.
I usually sell them to my Clients that are bent on The Corsair 620 watt. This PSU is way better, and the clients have never regretted my push in the right direction.
SILVERSTONE ST75F ATX12V / EPS12V 750W Power Supply
Silverstone has done their homework for thirty bucks less...than the PCP&C... economy of performance is everything.
Save that same amount a few times and you can step-up an item in your build.
I love the Modular Construction.... This PSU is an Enhance in Silverstone Clothing.
Hard Wired PSU's are a real Pain.. I have a Small Pile of them here all work, but have broken wires.
PCP&C/OCZ will have to make-up a very good "Steaming Pile" for me to ever head back...
PCP&C had it's heyday... then the industry changed in 3 years to a very quality oriented customer focused market segment, but now you need to sort out the BS and Let the chips fall where they do.

The Bottom Line
After the last PC Power & Cooling product we reviewed we were concerned that PC Power & Cooling may have fallen from grace but while the Turbo-Cool line has stagnated the Silencer line has come into its own. The Silencer 750 Quad combines very good performance, and transient response, with amazing DC output quality and packages all of it in a unit that is uncharacteristically good looking for a PC Power & Cooling product. In the end the PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad CrossFire may not be an unbeatable value at $199.99 but it is probably the closest thing to it in the consumer market.
The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad CrossFire Edition is one of the best high-end computer power supplies we have had grace our test bench in terms of power performance and overall build. Do be aware though it does not stand up to its ?Silencer? name and would not be welcome in something akin to an HTPC build. The Silencer 750 Quad CrossFire Edition is perfectly at home in a high-end CrossFire gaming rig and the Ferrari red color certainly has a coolness factor that leaves other power supplies in the dust!!

The Strider units have short cable set avalible for those that are working with small cases. This is prolly the only advantage of being full modular (including the ATX 24 pin).
Note: In the linked review above, Paul considers the Silencer 750 to be a very good consumer grade PSU and is not to be considered server grade, they are two different animals. Etasis and Zippy build server grade units...If that is of any importance to the reader.
