EVGA's G2 products are among the most popular PSU lines in the market today. Its members feature high performance per dollar ratios, so they are highly recommended. Today, EVGA introduced two upgraded G2 units, featuring the version number G2L.

My B2 750W just blown up my EVGA 1080 GTX FTW. They can put the warranty that they want, the Quality Assurance is subpar at best!

These are G2 , much better units , different platform , I own 3 flawless for over 2 years.

Well, to be honest for a second version of G2 units I was expecting more, and while any G2/G2L certainly worth the price, I wouldn't pay $ 30 more for G2L units if I was purchasing it now (I have a 750 G2).

I would love to see more digital interfaces to PSUs like in Corsair AXi series and would pay for that if using a good, open protocol to it instead closed protocol from Corsair.

I'm assuming the depth reduction is something along the lines of cutting out this useless area.

And that's what really called my attention but it worth $ 30? Maybe for small ITX cases, but not for most users .

Nobody will need a 750W or 850W power supply in an ITX case ever.

Indeed they will not. But IMHO even for M-ATX cases, this improvements doesn't worth $ 30.

What makes me sad is I'll probably see a bunch of Newegg reviews for it while this beauty, the FSP Hydro X 450, sits with no eggs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIABP94H47003&cm_re=hydro_x-_-17-104-229-_-Product

I don't know of any stats or polls out there, but my guess is most people don't spend too much time actually drilling down into details of things like Japanese capacitors and ripple performance when buying PSUs. Wrongly, they see things like "Gold" rated for less money and more wattage and run with it from the more familiar and usual suspect brand names (Corsair, EVGA, Seasonic).

Also where are all the Johnny Guru FSP reviews of the lower powered units? FSP needs to get themselves better known to main stream builders. I see they've gotten their Hydro X prices down more competitive with the G2 series unlike when first introduced back in the Spring when Tom's first reviewed the $80 450W one ($80, $95, and $110 for FSP's Hydro X's 450/550/650 at into). Here are is a current price example of 550W between the two:

Rarely do things sell at MSRP though.
