As Jeff says, toroids have a very wide bandwidth, which is exactly what you don't want in a power tranny, because HF noise from the mains can be an unwanted 'feature'! You can get them with an electrostatic shield between the windings but I don't know how effective that would be. The advantages of toroid trannies are compact size, high efficiency and relatively little hum irradiated to the rest of the circuit.
