Is there a big difference between the Venom and Delta series? i would also need a 20 amp version for my P20.

In my experience, the short answer to the bolded question is "yes". Upgrading the power feed to my TEAC DAC from the Venom NR v10 to the Delta NR v1 effected a noticeable improvement in transient speed, resolution, and dynamic scaling. Upgrading the feed to my ARC LS16 line stage from a Venom NR v10 to the Delta NR v2 effected even greater perceived improvements in each of those areas and the sense of being "in the performance space". (Which is why I have a Delta NR v2 ordered for my DAC.)
If your budget permits, I consider the Delta series well worth it.
