Need new power supply. Fuel Tank Vs. DC Brick

So I need to get a new power supply cos my One Spot is humming like crazy.

I'd prefer something with grounding and isolation. From what I understand the FuelTank classic has both but I am not sure about the DC Brick, well, I KNOW the DC Brick doesnt have grounding.

Thing is I know the DC Brick can power my(so far only) ZOOM B3 and my Manta Envelope Filter, can the Fuel tank do the same? Cos it from what I read each output supposedly delivers less mA than the ZOOM requires.

Also, the DC Brick needs a wall wart which I am not a huge fan of.

Honestly the Iso-Brick is the best deal in isolated outlets out there right now. Wall wart or not (you can use a laptop power supply or build something).

10 isolated outlets for $125 or so? Damn. And they sound great.

Yes, Voodoo Lab's Power supplies are isolated ground. I use an Voodoo labs ISO-5 on my pedalboard and it works great, that's what I'd recommend if you can afford it.

Well, I like the PP2 cos its within my price range and uses a computer cable. But I have to order it from abroad. For about the same price I can get the Fuel Tank, from what I understad it has some sort of isolation, but not for each output.

Also, I dont think isolation for each separate output is such necessity. The Fuel Tank for me seems like a better option because I can by it here for about the same price as I can abroad, not only that but I get a guarantee and some better payment options.

Sadly there's no one around here who sells Voodoo Labs products.
