As for the lower-wattage models, they are based on an improved version of FSP's Epsilon platform. They are efficient, but they are also group-regulated and are overall a pretty cheap design (hence the low price of these units). They're decent enough since FSP seems to have fixed the ripple issue with their original Epsilon platform, but they don't qualify as high-end PSUs.
I didn't say the 650W Z-series was a high end bracket PSU. Going to the high-end with PSUs pretty much implies 750W-1200W these days. You just don't get top end builds at the lower wattage ratings; not from the big PSU companies anyway.

So tell me Zero, what else about OCZ's stuff bothers you?
