Replace stock power cord that came with Furman Elite 20PFi or stock is good enough?

I recently picked up an open-box Furman Elite 20 PFi power conditioner.   We frequently get power outages where I live, so the Furman is a little insurance.

The stock cord is 12 AWG.  I was thinking of replacing it with an Analysis Plus Power Oval 10 or Power Oval 2. 

I have a integrated tube amp and Nottingham Analogue Interspace Jr. TT.  Both PC cords on these are also stock but the PC on the Nottingham is not interchangeable.  It's connected directly to the Nott's motor.

The cost for a 4 ft. Power Oval 2  is more than I paid for the Furman, so it may not be the most cost effective upgrade..

"VH Audio" carries the Furutech line.
No soldering. the wires lock in with setscrews.

Hi this is Elizabeth here
I changed the 20 amp male chassis connector on my Furman REF20i to a Furutech 15amp style. The blades of the Furutech are really thick and the inside connector of that Furutech are screw and captive slot which FIT well to the Furman 10 gauge wires!
So the changeover was totally painless, and easy.
I think I used a Furutech Fi-10 $29.

I have used the Furman REF20i with the 15 amp IEC for several years now and nearly everything is plugged into it. Never a problem using the 15 amp Furutech IEC.

Then I was able to use my favorite Pangea AC9. which later was replaced with a better sounding AC9SE mkII

Pangea now has a powercord with the IEC 20 amp connector at the equipment end, but I am happy as the Furman is now.
