I very strongly agree with that. I've never liked the tendency some power metal bands have to only develop one idea in songwriting, which is essentially what Dragonforce do, and focus on cramming as many notes as they can into their guitar solos.
Fate's Warning are much more diverse, also worthy of merit here is Hammerfall.
I wrote an extremely angry but completely non serious review of Inhuman Rampage if you're interested:

I'm trying to suggest some better alternatives for power metal, so feel free to post some links to some Fate's Warning songs that you like.
