I think he meant straight through copper wire as opposed to connectors adding resistance.
Yes, modular connectors create resistance. But that resistance equates to about .03V drop from PCB to load over an 18" wire with a 14A load. So in real world usage, modular connectors do NOT noticeably affect performance.
Despite this, I would still pick the Seasonic over the Antec. It's just a better built product. Even when Antec uses Seasonic as an OEM, it's not the same level of quality as Seasonic building for themselves or even other re-branders (PCP&C, Corsair, etc.)
