Best is quite happy to have its specs available, without an NDA. I've also heard that their quality is much higher. They are a little more expensive, but I found a supplier who seels them at a reasonable price: ProSource Power. They were quite pleasant when I sent back my APC unit, and their price on both the APC and Best units was the best I was quoted. My Best unit hasn't come in yet (they didn't have it in stock) but so far I've been pleased with them. One nice thing about Best: APC made me buy a new surge supressor to cover me under their warantee. Best is letting me keep my laser printer and modem on my old Panamax surge supressor (one of the better brands) and they will still cover the waranty. (This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that Best oem's Panamax themselves for their own surge supressors...) No affiliation with any of the companies mentioned here... michaelkjohnson
