Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system

And later down the road I can upgrade to the Ultimate mains cable from them. 

Thanks for the great input so far. I have upgradded my cables and most everything in my system minus putting in a dedicated network switch and already have plans for that. I might just try and find a used 136 as its more inline with the cost of my system. Any input on a good semi budget friendly power distribution/filtering block would be much appreciated. Around $500- $1000

Also the reason why I am looking into changing out my power setup is I am currently running an older Panamax 5500 AC regen unit and I am thinking that is probably hurting my setup more than helping it. 

Thinking maybe I should just get a solid power distribution block for a lot less money. Wisdom Cable Technology seems to make a really nice one.

The ejection seat in the helicopter comment had me rolling!

I am currently using CSS 1TDX for speakers. I am leaning towards a higher end, power distribution block. This one to be exact.

I am also upgrading the network while I’m doing this because I do not have a switch currently and will be installing a decent midgrade one with LPS. 
 

The speakers in question top many $5-10k speakers. I have a very well balanced system I just want to find a good power solution in the price range mentioned above. Power distribution with light filtering would be nice.  Was wanting input on power options. I know how to piece together a two channel setup. This would be my budget system and sounds pretty amazing for the price.
 

I have looked at the Ansuz Mainz8 but its a bit out of my price range from what I can see. 

The 136 is still in the running for sure. Just need to find a used one.

Had a person offer up one for sale on the other site and it was a scammer :((

Still on the hunt for a used 136. What do these typically go for on the uses market?

The last price hike kind of messed up the used market.
