It would depend on what it would be powering up. Is this PSU for your current rig???? Are you planning on upgrading any hardware (GPU for example)????

Mootsfox I think mcogan10 is looking for a modular PSU, since he has showed us that both of the PSU's he is looking at are both runnin a modular concept.

Modular is usually worse than non-modular in high end PSUs. OCZ uses FSP Group parts, which are much better than Hipro.
