I don't say that the GS is better, I just say that the G2 didn't get an award because it had very low hold-up time, which is a basic test. I did the same to the most recent Leadex 550 Gold unit which had also a highly inaccurate power good signal. I provide you all the facts along with the relative performance chart which shows the G2 above the GS, so it is up to you to decide which PSU you will buy or suggest to your friends.
I just cannot recommend a PSU that fails big time in a major ATX requirement because then it is like saying to the manufacturers that I don't have a problem with that and that they can continue on delivering products that aren't inline with the ATX standard. APFC caps are expensive so some of them try to cut corners in this section.
The hold-up time is very important because it can cause from data losses to instability problems. As for the ATX revision the only outdated requirement is the ripple suppression which has very high limits. This spec is written by people that know very well this area and is the de facto standard for every PSU.
