Default AC/DC Multi Chargers

I am looking to buy an AC/DC dual LIPO charger. I have been using a 50W single charger for a few years now and dont mind the limited charging power as I use only 2 cell Lipos. Since I am looking to spend about 100 dollars I know that finding a dual charger with more than 50W per port would be a lot to ask. As far as I have researched the only three chargers that are near my price range are: the Hitec X2 AC plus, Team Orion Advantage One Duo, or the Dynamite Prophet Sport Duo. I know the AC/DC requirement limits my choices greatly, so I may consider DC chargers and power supply suggestions as well if they the charger and power supply fall within my price range. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I use the Dynamite Prophet Sport Duo to charge my 1/16th 2S Lipo's. Works great, very simple to use and reliable. I really like the power switch and the internal fan that turns on/off by itself. My other 200W Dynamite charger doesn't have a power switch and the fan is on constantly (noisy).

If you don't need storage charge and discharge features this might be perfect. I use my battery down to about 3.83v and just put them in my fire bag for storage. I never discharge my Lipo's on the charger so the limited feature is no issue for me.

I think it was a great buy and recommend it.

I have been using a Hitec X4 ac/dc charger for about a year and am very happy with it.
But it would more than 100 bucks. It can handle 4, 2s lipos at 6amps charge rate at the same time.

Thanks for the replies! I bought a barely used X4 DC with power supply off of here.
