My biggest issue with the knock-off power adapters is the manufacturers are too cheap to get UL certification (or any certification), so I am genuinely afraid they pose an unknown electrical hazard. On the one hand, the 32x/SegaCD/Genesis all-in-one adapter would be pretty convenient, but on the other hand, I'd rather know the adapters are certified to be safe than take any chances.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
