Default Looking for a charger

My trusty Turnigy 6S died last weekend so now I'm looking for something different. I run nitro so this will mostly be charging small LiFe rx packs and NiMH transmitter packs. My kids have slashes so we occasionally charge 2S LIPO's up to 5000mah.

Ideally I would like to parallel charge their batteries so I want something that can do 8 to 10 amps at 8.4 volts. I would prefer an AC charger so I have one less thing to worry about at the track. I've narrowed my choices down to the Racers Edge SureCharge 2010 (8 amps but voltage not specified), the Onyx 235 (8 amps but only 50 watts), or the iCharger 206b (a bit more expensive once you add the power supply and perhaps questionable quality - look at the junsi 1000w failure rates lately).

Any thoughts from the community?
