1200W PSU battle: BeQuiet! Vs CoolerMaster

The BeQuiet is about 35£ more expensive, about right for Gold V Plat. The system will have a watercooled 5950X, dual Gen 4.0 NVME, 64GB RAM, 8 x 140mm fans, initially just a 3060 (blew the budget lol) but this will definitely be upgraded end of 2022 to the top 4000 series card, or possibly 2 mid-range cards for GPU rendering. I will not want to have to replace the PSU so it would be nice to have headroom.
 
Thanks - I just found out the only place I can get the BeQuiet! from [in New Zealand] will only offer a 1 year warranty. They say I would have to deal with BeQuiet! in Germany after the first year, and needless to say that is not an option lol.

I think I might wait three weeks and hopefully the Corsair HX1200 Plat will be back in stock, which was what I initially wanted. The stock situation with PSUs seems worse than graphics cards... there are so few 1Kw+ options available.
 
This is for GPU rendering, 2 cards doubles performance. I would consider the 3080 a mid-range card, 320W each before OC. I used online PSU calculator and my system hit 1K with a 3060 & 3090 combined. I would not be surprised if nVidia push power draw slightly higher for next year.
