If you only need 12v at high current, why not use a computer power supply? The 12v rail on some of the newer ones can deliver 20-30A. This one delivers 36A@ 12v and is about $100. This one only delivers 25A, but is only $45.

Or, use a small car battery, and then a much cheaper 3-5A PS (a RadioSHack transformer and a full wave rectifier) that can charge that battery between and during uses.
