The other important thing of course is setting a budget. More power is never a bad thing, but if you don't use all that power then you have probably spent more than you needed to.

This is also true, similar situation going on at work for me at the moment. I'm actually working on the commissioning of a gas turbine driven compressor on a customer site where they have bought a larger unit than necessary. Trying to get it to run stable with less gas flow than anticipated is not much fun, 10 million dollars worth of investment so not cheap! lol At least the compressor salesman had a good bonus!

I'm in the same boat looking at my future charging needs. After a fair bit of research, I was thinking of going for this charger:-
Turnigy Reaktor 300W 20A 6S Balance Charger
with this power supply:-
HobbyKing 540w 220~240v Power Supply (13.8v~18v - 30amp)
It's certainly a cheap option and works well from what I've read. But if you are planning to get larger helis in the near future then you'll probably want/need something with a fair bit more power. Maybe something like this:-
iCharger 3010B 1000W 10s Balance/Charger
Obviously needs a suitable psu too. Maybe from Coolice as others have mentioned.SAB Goblin 380 KSE - latest love thang
Lynx OXY 3 - my mini flagship!
Blade 180 CFX - field beater for new moves
Blade Red Bull BO-105 CB 130 X - scale fun flying at the field when the tail isn't broken, which is not often.
Blade mCPX - sold
Blade Nano QX - house fly of choice
Blade mCX2 - retired but will be back when the kids get a bit bigger
Spektrum DX8 - for everything

I think I may go the coolice route - I've thinking about converting some PC PSU power supplies for years and it looks like pretty straight forward stuff (and should be sufficient for a decent charger like the iCharger).
If my next heli's going to be a 550 I'm going to be struggling with the Accucell 6 as well. Also not sure my parallel board is going to be ok - it sais it's 30A (which I guess is in the limits for 6S's (at 25.2v at I guess you'll be under 12Amp?) but it was an eBay cheapy...
