New Charger Time, Help Needed

well it seems ive outgrown my Hyperion 5i charger and want to go more power...and i am soooo lost...
my batteries are Neu 5s 4900's...i doubt i ever will go bigger,maybe 6s..
i'm trying to decide between the Hyperion eos1201...,eos0610i, ....do either of these have any advantages/disadvantages over the other ??...can anyone point me to a power source for either of these ?? i already have a lba10 balancer which i think i would need with the 1210 so that wouldnt be an issue....any help or advice is greatly appreciated as all this is new to me ...thanks again

hit hobbycity.com and get an imax 14v 16a ps and turigy accucel-8 for 120

The 1210i does not have a built in balancer and has 180watts of output power. The 0610iNet is a 250watt charger and has a balancer built in. Both will do lipo, a123s, NiXX and Pb. The 1210i will do 2C lipo charging while teh 0610I is 1C. The 0610iNet has a data port and can connect to your PC and it the firmware is upgradable. My 0610iNet has been upgraded 3 times and gets a little better an safer each time.

As far as a power supply, I use a 345watt Radio Shack ai got a super deal on used - it was like new in teh box, orig owner looks like he never used it. There are PC power supplies you can find for little or nothing and mod into a DC PS if you're inclined or ones like this one -

Pyramids are cheapest I've seen and have a good rep, they also have a 30amp supply.

thanks guys for the help....ok ,i'm sure i'm gonna go with the hyperion eos0610i....since ive had good luck with my 5i...just trying to figure out the PS as i don't really know where to start as far as a size to easily charge my batteries ,so i'll need to do some searching....Thanks guys for the links above,I'll check them out
one more question ....am i safe in assuming that i need about 20 amps ?? .....thanks again

would this be enough power for the Hyperion eos0610i charging 5s 5000 lipo...thanks again guys Competition Electronics 14V/23A Regulated DC Power Supply [CEI3710]
