Change the plugs or use a converter ?

I have got 2 PC Shunyata Taipan with US plugs when I live in Switzerland.
I am wondering what is the best solution :
change the plug or use a converter ?

I am wondering if a converter is a way to lose efficiency, quality, as it's add another device.

But if I ask the question, it's because Shunyata says that its Venom connectors "ensure superior contact integrity, lower junction impedance and the long-term performance reliability of PowerSnakes products".
"Shunyata Research is the sole power-line company that treats the contacts of its power cords with an expensive three phase co-plating process".

Thanks for the insights.

If you're planning to stay in Switzerland, have Shunyata change the ends out.
Their turn-around is fast and they will reterminate with new heatshrink and a clear protector sleeve over it (depending on which cord)

I had my Anaconda VX reterminated with a NEMA Twistlock by Shunyata to accomodate my Hydra, perfect job.

I have changed the ends on my Mojaves and Sidewinders in the past, but I'm not too sure about Taipans.

As competent as I am, I would NOT try that on my King Cobras or Anacondas, too risky an affair to screw up a 2K power cord.
