Charger looks pretty decent. I personally don't like the 200W/ch charge rate.

What style of e power you flying?

For me, 200W would be very minimal, but would be sweet for smaller 2-3S packs for indoor flying. I am maxing out 1100W power supplies in my iCharger 406. But, I can charge 2 6S 5000s at 20A each channel. Almost 500W per channel according to the iCharger.

As long as you are happy with the purchase, I say run with it. When you get ready for more charger than you need, iCharger 308, 406 or 4010. :)

With that charger you can charge the 5s4500 packs at more than 1c.
A 1c (1 hour) charge on 5s4500's takes amps. (4.5 amps * (4.2 volts * 5 cells)) = 94.5 watts. So that charger should be able to do a 2c charge on those 5s packs. Not bad at all, so you can knock out 2 packs in 30 minutes.
