How much extra resistance are you talking about here? What is the likelihood of a failure due to these extra connections? Also, throwing the cables in a cable draw doesn't create much of a keeping track of problem. Using only cables you need ATM certainly helps with case clutter and improved air flow. I see no downsides to modular.

I must be old school. All else being equal, I'd rather have a non-modular
unit. I'd prefer not to have the extra resistance, extra point for failure,
and extra crap to keep track of, but that's me. I also tend to use most of
my connections, and always end up needing Y's for drives.

That said, if my SeaSonic S12-600 died today, I'd be getting the X750 Gold
as a replacement, and it's modular only.

Modular is the way to go.  With less cable clutter inside, it's always a
win-
win...  :)

Are there List members that use Modular PSUs?
If so, opinions are welcome!

I understand "Modular" to mean a PSU that has selective electrical
connectors on the rear of the PSU (PC Output side) in place of the old
bundle
of wires and connectors.
I am shopping a pair of replacement PSUs.  I may try Modular this cycle.
Best,
