I don't know what "Gbmcleod" is thinking, but I hear great differences with the lower priced Shunyata cords.
Personally, I wouldn't spend more than 500.00 on a power cord.
It sounds as if you do not have the experience of Gbmcleod, which probably explains why you wouldn't understand his thinking. I was never very impressed with Shunyata's less expensive offerings like the Copperhead or Diamondback either. I agree with Gbmcleod's reco to stay at or above the Cobra level in the Shunyata line. Pani, if you want to stay under $500 per cord, you would probably be better off using something other than Shunyata. Though if you are patient you may find a Cobra for $500.
