PCP&C PSU's - No 8pin Header?

Iv been seeing that more and more upcoming boards (both intel and amd) are powering the mobo from an 8 pin header (as well as 20/24pin atx) rather than the traditional 4pin.... my old ocz 510w psu had an 8pin header split into 2 sections (so you could use it as a regular 4, or clip together for 8pin)...so I checked my pcp&c 510w sli and found to my suprise that it has no 8pin header at all...olny a 4pin!

Will there be a newer revision of the pcp&c thatl have an 8pin header? id prefer the 8pin system to having to plug molexs/fdd power plugs into the mobo....
 
well i for one dont approve of them having the eps connector unless they follow the eps standard aswell, which requires a third 12v rail. anyway isnt it only the pentium that needs the eps connector cos of its ridiculous power requirements.
 
I read somewhere that the 8pins dont actually add anything new, they just allow the load to be split across different wires so it shouldnt be a problem with a quality PSU like a PCP&C.
