Why wouldn't you use BPT's 20 amp cord?
I've had a BPT 3.5 for prolly 10 years now (whenever they first started and got the rights to Plitron transformers). I use their power cord, which is 20amp and it's also quite flexible for it's size.
Unless you have the budget for a Valhalla power cord, I doubt anything you spend under $500 will be better. Many of them will be worse.
No doubt that power cords can make a difference, but it's a poor return on the scale of improvement/dollar...especially if you are already using a quality budget cord like a Pangea.
Looking at your system, I would save that $500 and allocate it to a new DAC versus a power cord and keeping the Oppo (assuming your system list on audiogon is up-to-date).
