They all claim 25A as well but none of them will actually output it for
any length of time without significant voltage drop (which only drives
up the required input current).

Pardon the rant of a curmudgeon of the subject of power supplies for
electrics. As the son of a mother who was born in Scotland, I am
always looking for value. I often see products being bought and used
because a person or group with "credentials" uses them. As a group,
we are a bunch of lemmings and whatever the anointed individual or
group uses, we buy and use. Logic regarding value doesn't seem to
enter the discussion. For example, a current "must have" for the
electric-powered Pattern airplane guys is an Iota power supply. Will
someone please tell me what this very fine power supply will do that
a switching computer power supply from Geeks.com, with a 12 volt, 25
amp output and costing less than $20, won't do?
I could go on regarding motors, ESCs, chargers and batteries, but
I'll save those for other rants.
