This is also a very good power supply.

I think they're located in Hong Kong, China so the shipping might make up for the savings, but you'll just have to check and see...

And then you'd have 40A total.

If you want the best, then you'll want the Alinco DM-330MV power supply:
Here is a review I did of it on a different forum:
Well, I got my Alinco 32A power supply in, and I love it! It's so much higher quality than the Samlex/Radio Shack ones. And the adjustable voltage makes this so much more useful to me. The clean voltage it provides is just amazing. You can literally unplug this for 2-4 seconds and it still provides steady power without blinking an eye. Even when you turn it off, it provides power for about 2-4 seconds. So far, the fan has only turned on once for me, and even so, it's a nice slow, auto-adjusting, variable speed running fan so it's not too loud. The front and back panel inputs are wonderful. 32A banana/screw connectors in the back, remote voltage control, preset voltage dial plus on/off switch options, noise control, lighted front voltage display, and the extra front output connectors are all a welcome bonus.
The size of this is not much bigger than the Samlex/Radio Shack power supplies, although the Alinco is heaver since it's made with metal (something that Radio shack does not believe in). This thing looks like it's made to last, and I bet I'll have this for 25+ years. In my opinion, the only reason you wouldn't want to get this ultimate power supply is if you are concerned about saving weight. In my opinion, it's worth spending $40 more than Samlex/Radio Shack power supplies. You get more continuous amps, features, durability, quality, and adjustability.
I bought mine at gigaparts.com for $139 shipped. They can be found on ebay too. The ICE sits on top of this power supply nicely, and they really compliment eachother. I use the adjustable voltage all the time, for things like motor lathes, tire truers, fans, etc.. After having adjustable voltage, it seems silly to ever go back. I like to give credit where credit is due, and this Alinco is awesome.

I have a used Lambda (Nemic-Lambda) power supply. Actually, I own two of them: one 53 amps (which stays in the house), and one rated 35 amps (nice, small, portable).
I got it from a guy who works at a telecom company. He said these power supplies are normally on 24/7, 365 days of the year, and these are what are used at cell(phone) sites.
He plugged in a 70 amp load on the one rated at 53 amp, and the voltage dropped from 13.87 to 13.86 (yes, .01 volt!). When he plugged in a 35 amp load on it, the multi-meter didn't even blink. And, just like that Alinco, even when unplugged for about 2 seconds, it still provided power.
(I have unplugged it for about 2 seconds, then plugged it back in, and the MuchMore charger didn't even complain even as it was charging at 5 amps).
Overall, am very happy with them. He was even offering me an 84 amp power supply ("in case your battery is dead and you want to start your car"), but that one was a tad big. The 53 amp can be portable , but the 35 amp one is small.
