Second, the PIcoPSU doens't regulate the 12v rail, so you'd be feeding 18v to components that need 12v. That would be bad.

In a response from mini-box;

Dear Sir,

PicoPSU-60-WI will have 12V output no matter of the input as long it is between 6 and 26V.
The other 2 PicoPSU's will have at output what they have at the input, because they require 12V regulated.

Best regards,
Cristi Ciubotaru.

So if all you need is a 60 watt PSu this version of the Pico is a good alternative. I have the P1900 but my morex 80W can only take 11~12.5 V

So might end up using the picoPSU 60 WI to replace becuase i do not need another shutdown controller and such.
