Topic: Define "Upgraded power supply"?

I'm considering buying an SD2, base edition. It's $100 cheaper than the pro model, and I could install my own plate heater. However, the pro model has a "Upgraded power supply". What does that mean exactly?

I would imagine to handle the heated build platform.  Heated bed is essential so make sure you have the means to do it and keep it perfectly flat and level.  There are plenty examples of people who have done it here.

Oh yeh, I forgot about that change... I think the regular power supply is only 5 or 6 amp while the upgraded one is 10 amp output
