PC Peripherals Who has better support in India? Seasonic or Cooler Master?

I am planning on buying a new PSU. I have settled on either:

Cooler Master V Series V850 (www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/v-series-psu/v850/)
or
Seasonic SS-850KM3 (www.seasonicusa.com/NEW_X-series_KM3_650-750-850.htm)

Both are about the same price, and have the same features, since the CM V850 is made by Seasonic, based on the exact same KM3 platform.

So the only thing differentiating the two for me would be the aftersale service, in case something goes wrong. Which one of the two would be better in this regard?

P.S. Seasonic service is handled by Tirupati. Not sure about Cooler Master.
 
Are you sure about the latter part? Looking at their site, Overclockerszone About Us, shows this for Tirupati:

I assume these branches will also handle RMA, should the need arise, correct?
 
All RMA is essentially suffering, only a matter of how much better or worse one is over another. :p.

Quality doesn't matter between the two, since the CM V850 is made by Seasonic. It is pretty much the exact same thing as the Seasonic SS-850KM3.[DOUBLEPOST=1438419258][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok, talked to Tirupati Kotlkota head office. They said that in case of RMA, I could either send directly to them, or I could send it to one of their branch offices.

Interestingly, I asked if I could buy a new item from their branch office directly, or if I had to purchase from a retailer, I was told that the branch office wouldn't sell to me. Which only leaves the branch office for handling RMA (apart from selling to retailers of course).

Seasonic RMA is nice. Last year I had to RMA my Seasonic S12 II 620 PSU. I sent it to Kolkata and received back another one. All these was finished in a week.
 
The Coolermaster V850 is rated at 40 degrees while the Seasonic km3 is rated at 50 degrees. You are comparing apples to oranges here. If the price is the same, the seasonic is a more capable psu even though they are based on the same platform.
