Anyone tried this power supply?

For my travel board, I currently use two power supplies for the 6 pedals. A powerall for 5 and a separate one for the flashback x4 as it doesn't daisy chain well. I have maxed out the daisy chain too, so it would be nice to be able to add another pedal without another 5 daisy chain cable. One of the pedals is a kingsley harlot, which is 9v at 500ma, so its a power hog.
 
I am also looking at the TrueTone One Spot pros. The CS7 in particular

Looking at the voodoo labs Pedal power 4x4 as well, though it would be overkill for this small board. I see voodoo labs and Cioks get suggested a lot. My only concern with Cioks is the non standard connectors coming from their power supply. I like that the others use the standard connectors.
 
I have the Supa Charger and am wondering if it's been the cause of some unbearable, intermittent humming. I'm starting to think that leaving it plugged in all the time somehow overcharges it and then my rig has such a loud buzz for a good 30 min. or so. It seems to die off after about 30 min.

Anyway, the Supa Charger is not light. I was under the impression that these power sources are pretty heavy if they have dedicated circuits for each plug, which is what you want. So the DC8 looks just a little too inexpensive and light to be of the same quality. But I'm open to reading others' reviews.
