This isn't a valid argument and your prices are incorrect.

With the Doepfer you get a wallwart powered PSU good for 1.2 amps and inadequate crowbar protection.  You'll need 3 of these to get the same current rating as a single Plan B PSU so adding that together it's (approximately) 3 x $150 for the Ringers $175 for the Plan PSU unit which comes in a self contained aluminum enclosure which requires no do-it-yourselfing.

So for the Plan B equivalent try $625, not $875 and with it you'll get an OEM built Condor power supply with incredible parametric stats and crowbar protection that actually works.  You plug a module in backwards with a condor you're not going to have to return it to the manufacturer for repair. 

The bottom line, Plan B is not in a price war with Doepfer. If the $250 or so Plan B will make as profit on three Ringers and a PSU is unacceptable, then please by all means purchase the other unit.
