Robert, Go with the Micor supply. It has a nice fero-resonant voltage transformer that will operate continuous duty 24/7 at it's rated output.
I have seen a lot more Astron power supply's that have failed on hilltops than I have seen failed Micor units, keeping in mind that I have seen a lot more Micor power supplys on hilltops than I have seen Astrons. I only remember seeing one Micor supply that lost a transistor, fail over the last 30 or so years, and I lost track of the number of failed Astrons that I have seen or repaired.
