Shunyata Python versus copperhead for power amps

I am considering either a 20A python (perhaps the older alpha with the red ends) or a copperhead that will drive a Guardian 2 conditioner. I already have a python alpha that I use for hydra 8...all my digital grea is running off of it. So, the Guardian + new PC will just run my amp and a powered sub. Any thoughts? Would i see a serious difference between the two PCs? Should I hold out for a helix or would antoher python alpha (pre helix) do fine? Thanks for your two cents!

I never compared Copperhead and Python cord, but compared Copperhead and Typan Alpha(pre helix) on an amplifier and the difference was obvious. Taipan was smoother, with better bass and more dynamic with better soundstage.
Also, with Hydra conditioners, you should have your best cord on the Hydra to wall connection. This is what Shunyata recommends and I found it to be true.
