P2 probably has more users but it doesn't make it a better choice

Both are Platinum Certified with the same specification and aside from the warranty is there any other reason i should pay more for P2 ( Superflower ) over PS ( Seasonic ) ( if i'm not mistaking ) ? i mean come on both are quality brand . will i ever notice the slightest performance difference between these two ?
 
Solution
Sure the P2 is higher quality that the PS, but as you said both are quality, no you won't notice a difference. We are talking about 1000W platinum. This is enough for 3x 980ti, which you are unlikely to use. No SLI configuration can make either PSu break a sweat, apart from Titan Z obviously, but if you were buying 2xtitanz you would have spent more on a psu anyways.
So whatever you are going to throw at those, it will work and you won't have a problem, so unless you are going for quad-sli/xfire, I'd say spend those $50 on something different.

Then PS it is . Great advice thank you so much :D . i'm still wondering why is P2 higher quality ? and does that 50$ more on P2 mean less chance of failure ? or its 50 bucks more mainly for the warranty ?

and one last question . i heard that PSUs wear out and don't give the same wattage they once used to give . how long till that happens and i can no longer use it ? i mean single GTX 980 ti needs way less than 1000W but i just bought so i don't have to upgrade my PSU anytime soon , i'm talking about years .
 
Yeah PSus do wear over time but that's the thing about quality PSUs, their wear level is way lower and still even 5-10 years later it will work at the same level and you are unlikely to have problems. That will never happen in your case however, since even if it produces less and less power with time, GPUs power consumption gets lower and lower with every generation. To be honest even a G2 650W will hold on for 10 years with any single GPU on the market in the foreseeable future.
Main reason for the 50$ discount is first the warranty and second - people are buying mainly SuperFlower (x2 instead of xS) nowadays, meaning the already manufactured ones are not selling.
