So wait, did I miss this announcment somewhere?
Tom is selling a Seasoinc 1000W PSU on his page (https://www.bitcoinasic.net/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=54)
So now the only question is 10 54gh/s units or 10 27gh/s units.

... the Seasonice Platinum Series is an irresistible option to power up to 10 bASIC mining units...
So now the only question is 10 54gh/s units or 10 27gh/s units.
These are small hints from Tom (of bASIC) that the power use is not all that different from BFL units. (Joke link)
(Actually, the power supply should not be run at 100% load, so I am sure these are very subtle hints from Tom that a Lot of 10 units will comfortably run within the sustained power envelope of this 1k watt PSU. Otherwise he would be pretty insane to be marketing it for 10 units at 100watts each.

It should be exciting news for all prospective bASIC buyers. It also shows that it is not an impossibility to hit 100watts or less for a 54Gh/s unit.
EDIT: Also he is doing this with 6 chips on a bASIC design vs 8 chips for a BFL Single SC unit. So interesting times ahead...
