The Megawatts seem to have documentation. They can be parallel easily. I've owned two of them. They both started spitting hash. Off they went....

Hopefully Megawatts quality has come up the last 5 years.
I has an s-1200 back in 2015. Apparently these units had a issue with blowing rectifiers as mine did and never bought another. I also found it to be somewhat noisy in my receive. Never been much of a fan of switching supplies because of that.

I have three of those, and abuse them terribly. I have used them to remove rust from tower sections and some car parts. They were outside in the summer running 24/7 for ten days in a row with to the no failures. I was running these max and they still work good. I bought two of these in 2013 and another in 2014 and still not a whimper.
That's only $15.00 more than Megawatt's website list them!

I run the megawatt 30 amp as a bench supply in my main shack. No complaints here, does a good job running a radio and multiple accessories.

Yes to going straight to that. Quick shipping. I've got two of the S-400-12's and one S-700-12.
I recently zapped one of the S-400-12's by pulling too much from it on an amplifier that was too big for it. Not the power supply's fault but my fault. Turned the amp on High, talking DX, overheated the PS and it quit. Dumb @$$
