Default what charger? hyperion or bantam

guys, just looking at upgrading to a 240v charger, running mainly 2s but occasionally 3s for my radio so have shortlisted the following two chargers:
hyperion eos 720 or bantam bc8dp.
i can get both for a similar price so wondered what peoples thoughts are? my gut is telling me the bantam.
any other suggestions would be great!

Don't know if it means much, but the Hyperion features their EOS Control & Data Suite letting you control the charger from your PC. Otherwise, the Bantam has slight edge in power on AC and a big edge in power on DC (200w vs 150) but not in max charge rate. This is prob moot since Hyperions 20a charge rate is limited by the 90watt power output.


Suspect you'd be happy using either one.
