Also I don't think that a review which lists seven disadvantages can be called a biased one (if you are referring to mine of course).
Now who needs such an expensive/powerful PSU, this is another question. Someone else could argue who needs a Ferrari, or four 680 GTX, or an SR-2 main etc. All people don't have the same needs/beliefs so there will be users willing to spend money on a PSU. Considering the price of high-end VGAs, mainboards, CPUs, ddr I don't think that high-end PSUs are so expensive especially if you consider their lifespan.

I didnt call your review biased. However, all the little EVGA fanbois are going to "ooh and ahh" over this overpriced/hyped product which will lead some very biased reviews. And before anyone thinks I am an EVGA hater, Ive owned a few EVGA cards starting with an 8800GTX back in the day and I still look strongly at them for Nvidia products and possibly for some motherboards.
And yes, $450 is still too much even in regard to the potential longevity a PSU might have. I run a Corsair HX1000 and its still more than enough to get the job done for 95% of the PC enthusiast market, and it cost me about $225 when I bought it.
