Now I see how the ps watts play into the big picture. Thanks.
I've been using the MRC989 since I went lipos. It's a nice charger for lipos and nihms. It doesn't have a built in balancer is the only thing that it could use to make it better. It does come with a ps for it at about the same price as what you were looking at. I've never used any other charger for lipos so can't comment on them.
Here's Brian's data table of some of the popular chargers.

I didn't see this one that Brain added to his page. This is a nice feature for helping select a charger.
