I guess it depends on their accountants.

Don't get me wrong. Any old power cord will do the job just fine. I was just pointing out that:

A better ground can NOT be bad on any piece of electronic gear.

Lower resistance MIGHT change the impedance ratios (ever so slightly, if at all)

Twisted conductors in any wire running AC voltages will reduce induced currents.

I'd almost bet that the 2 cords are very similar in quality because quite frankly, the engineers probably just specified the voltage and current ratings, and left the decision as to which actual cord ended up in the box to the procurement guys. They probably decided based on the lowest cost for a cord that meets the specs that they were given. I doubt that either would be "better" simply because it came with the more expensive piece of equipment. The one with the bigger amplifiers probably just has a thicker one. I don't think it is "safe" to assume anything.
