You are correct that running everything off DC would be a much better solution. Alas, this is not what is largely available and we have to use AC as input to our components, unless one is willing to heavily (if not with difficulty) modify each and every device in the system (or go the route of having them custom made). Also, DC mains is not as well-chartered territory and I am sure it would bring its own issues. Anyway for me this is more than what I am willing to concede. OTOH since I already have a PP, running it off batteries seems far from insurmountable, and the recollection I have of battery mode is very attractive. But as you say this is all about relativity (even though I did not mention it since I was addressing you directly, I strongly agree that the differences we are talking about are details compared to the improvement you get when switching over to PP -- but we are here to go beyond this evidence and discuss those nuances), and until now I have made do without it.
