Default New Charger?

Hi all.
Slowly getting the bits together to go racing again and it's time to buy a new charger. Last time i raced TrackPower were pushing there gold lipo batts and i got a few and a small bantum E-station that i still have. Looking to upgrade this as I'm sure things have moved on quite a bit. the 2 i was looking at were the orion touch V2 and the RacingStar RS16.

The price difference isn't so bad when you take into consideration a power supply for the RacingStar.
Has anyone tried both or could recommend another one in that price range?

Ive got the Skyrc version of the racing star charger and I'd recommend it, it's a good charger that will charge any type of battery.

But I wouldn't recommend the power supply unit, as Im on my third power supply. The first one literally when bang one day when I switched it on and the second randomly cut out (which was had the wrong mains lead in the box), But they have changed them both under warranty with no issues.

The Orion Touch chargers are excellent. I have the Touch Pro version and its really good.

Tar for that. I am leaning towards the orion but have also found this one

That seems to have all that the orion has but a bit cheaper.

That looks good for the price, but looks out of stock in the shops. It is on ebay.

Have a look at this. I've run it for a while now and love it. Chargers two battery's at once and handles my 1/8th 4 cell's just fine
