Pulled trigger on evga 1000w T2!

I finally decided to replace my nearly 5 yr old AX1200.
It was a close call between bequiet pro 11 850w and the evga Titanium.
Decided with the latter in the end.
I guess I didnt really need to upgrade but having upgraded my system recently I wanted a new PSU.
TBH the ax1200 was emitting slight coil whine and the fan was getting noisier.
My question is whether the evga is an improvement over the ax1200 or should I have bought the ax1500i ?

Just installed. Absolutely quiet and no coil whine. Fantastic!

Yes I couldnt agree more. A solid investment for multiple builds to come. Also the ripple is so low on this unit Im actually hearing better audio.

I prefer to pay the premium for the titanium rating which includes 94 percent efficiency at 10% load.
Pcs will still require 400 to 500w in a few yrs so running this at optimum efficiency whilst gaming makes sense (50% load).
