An interesting approach. With mine, I use an ex computer high current switch mode external power unit (I think 13A, if I remember correctly). This feeds a standard linear regulator configured for slow start. I have a number of switched ranges which suffices for everything I have got. My high voltage supplies are via inverters and backward run transformers. Probably not very efficient but it does work well.
