Hmm--battle of the Titans here--watch what eventuates!-- I use NBS Statement PC's with the Jadis drive and Audio Note Dac5 SE and extremely happy with the synergy in my system, apart from a short foray with Cardas and Kimber versions in the beginning of all this PC furore, the NBS have been my mainstays ever since.The mothers tho are heavy /stiff/and a downwright pain to fix solidly both to the component and the AC outlet--Ha, but no pain no gain isn't that right!
I presume from pics I have seen of the others you mention they are in the same boat--can't vouch for them sonically but choose carefully-- in this stratospheric atmosphere a wrong decision can wring financial ruin!
If you feel you can take a good dose of angst,pop over to AudioAsylum, and open the post in Hi-Rez on "Monitor IV power cord in my Sony SACD player", there is a physics gentleman who claims he can make 8 PC's for $400 and to perform as well as any megabuck cord!
Go figure.
