[QUOTE="JamesG, post: 1076650, member: 562476"] That was my KX1200.1 that did the 1490w. I've seen birth sheets with ratings as low as 1300w and as high as 1510w. I was very happy to see the 1490w on that piece of paper. LOL. Definitely go with the KX1200.1 if your budget isn't too tight. I actually bought mine to stay on a budget.
