First it gives you enough power to take care of your required needs without the worry of overloading it. The second thing is that it allows you some flexability for using more power down the road as things progress and more power is needed, without having to go out and purchase another PSU and spending even more money. Like anything it is a matter of personal choice, and of course available funds.
You are right. I just sold a Futaba 4pl for 150$ and bought a 4 PKS. Love the old radio, but it's no comparison to the the 4PKS. In the long run I would have saved money if I just got the 4PKS. Hopefully I won't need a power supply that big any time soon.
