Default Robbe vs Schulze: help requested

I have to choose between a Robbe Infinity 2 and a Shulze Chamaleon isl 6-330d. Prices here are exactly the same. Lists of features and internet reviews are very similar. I would appreciate any coment on how do they compare.

I would also thank any comment on the following specific issues:

1 - Robbe's manual states: "The cell capacity should be within the range 0.1 to 3.0 Ah, which covers most types used in modelling." This worries me since I'm going to use 3300 mAh packs (and higher in the future, I expect).
- Is this a real limit to be considered?
- What is Shulze's limit?

2 - Robbe's manual states that a regulated power supply may be used without problems, whereas Shulze's strongly disencourages using it. This is a very important point for me.

3 - Second output in Robbe is a dumb constant 250 mA source capable of driving up to 8 cells, whereas Shulze's is smarter but has a limit of 6 cells, that precludes using it to charge the transmitter pack.
- Which one should be more useful?
- Is this relevant?

Thanks in advance,
Juan.
