Seasonic FOCUS vs PRIME?

Does anyone know what exactly is the difference between the FOCUS and PRIME PSUs by Seasonic? Would the PRIME units have better capacitors, etc?

Also, is Corsair on par with Seasonic in terms of quality, or a little less?

Which Focus and which Prime? There are Gold/Platinum rated Focus and Gold/Platinum/Titanium rated Primes.

In general, the Primes have tighter load regulation, bigger fans (135mm vs 120mm), longer warranty (12yr vs 10yr).

Corsair quality is fine.

Platinum. Specifically 750-px.

If the PRIME has tighter voltage regulation, would this mean it could handle transient spikes better?

Nope - that's different circuitry. I could only find one decent Focus PX 750 review @ Tom's. The Prime reviews all seem to be Titanium...
