I'm not suggesting that we use setups that have a consistent current pull that's almost at the limit of the controller; that would obviously be foolish, and asking for trouble. I thought you were referring to keeping *any* current bursts (including startup) below 120A.
Mynd's eye, that's fair enough, and it sounds like you really push your kit hard. If you don't mind my asking, what setup do you run on the Monster? And what MGM do you use? Castle aren't planning (that I'm aware of) any significantly higher-current controllers because very few people would need that capacity; instead, they're going higher voltage of people that need more gumption. A higher-voltage system in many of your apps would be much more efficient at even higher power levels, even if your MGM can take it. But then again, if you're happy with your MGM, just use that. Or, retrofit extra cooling to the MMM.
