is there a huge difference when you get 43 Amps(for eg.) in Single rail other than 25A+18A ?

what is it then?
A single RAIL is better, imo, if it can be designed with so much amperage that is.

25A + 18A is not the same as 43A on a single rail. There are shared components and always the combined current rating a LOT less than them just adding.

Iirc, this PSU had 408W in the +12V rails. 408W/12A = 34A. It's identical to a PSU with a single rail of 12V with a current rating of 34A ;)
