Hmmm... so that means we are also paying for the 80 plus certification.

oh wow...Xenforo!!!
^^ The companies are- yes (I thought people knew). No certification comes for free unless they are putting their own stickers on their own products.

^^ Nothing wrong with lab temperature but it should be realistic.

40 degrees celcius is least prefered in a hot box. It will also be nice if they can have some methodology where they can pretty much scale a lifespan of the product. Better quality components, more slower it takes to degrade during days/months/years of usage.

BMG ftw!!
That 'lab temperature' variable varies all over the world. In India, due to hotter ambient temperature, efficiency & life span tend to get sorter by a descent margin, resulting in lots of difference between actual result & reviewed result, which is confusing to most of the people thinking that good review means good product. It is true in 95% of cases. But in rest 5% cases, it differs a lot.

I am getting a feeling these PSUs will be good for HTPC cases, particularly the 550W one.
