I suppose Sonata Arctica can be fairly cheesy - listen to Letter to Dana and it'll probably give you a few laughs. I do like Winterheart's Guild though. I guess Sabaton is somewhat cheesy too.
But there is some other good power metal out there like Communic, Angra, Iced Earth, Hibria, Kamelot, Lost Horizon and Anubis Gate.
EDIT: Time to merge this thread.
