Get the Corsair. You could look at the PSU tier list but the RM850 will be close to the top so just pay the little bit extra imo. Plus more headroom.
And be grateful you're not stuck with a case that can only take SF or SFL PSUs
Are you speaking from experience?
With Corsair PSUs, yes.
From having a (cooler master) 650w PSU struggling to supply my 9070xt and 7800x3d, yes.
From going through the tier list and seeing which PSU manufacturers are rated highly consistently, yes.
From facing a case that only allows for smaller form factor PSUs, also sadly yes - I have an SF1000 for the additional headroom for when I next upgrade my GPU
