According to JhonnyGuru the HCP-1200 is a great PSU and gets around 87% efficiency at 1200 watts.
Was hoping to get into the 89% range while using 1300-1400 watts. Is there any PSU that can do that? I have an email in with Antec about their HCP-1300 Platinum to see if that is going to release anytime soon. Really the only PSU I can see that currently is available that would do close to that number is the Lepa G1600 which does 89.2% efficiency at 1276w. That is pretty impressive and Johnny loves the Lepa (especially for only a Gold rated PSU):

Anyone thing the EVGA NEX 1500w would be able to put up as impressive efficiency numbers as the Lepa G1600? What about the Antec HCP-1300 Platinum? According to Johnny the HCP-1000 Platinum earned an 89.3% efficiency at it's max load of 1000w, so that looks promising for the 1300 Platinum. Plus I think those are Delta units which are top of the line. If the Lepa G1600 is doing about the best you can find I will just go and buy that now.
The Lepa actually shows better efficiency than the new Corsair AX1200i at 1200 watts load. Any thoughts/recommendations or any PSU's that I should also look at for my 1300-1400 watt 89% efficiency goal?

You should go dual-PSU.
