Seems the majority have already licked the most important "bells and whistles" and that's it working like a competent PSU within it's ranges. Bells and whistles would be RGB lighting or USB monitoring.
Softer cables tend to use less copper and less copper is not a desirable feature for ATX PSU cables. You really don't want to go less than 18AWG. Some higher quality PSUs use 17 or 16AWG for EPS/PCIe. If you want to go fully custom, be my guest and use 20 or 22 AWG.
