I too was just in the market for a surge protector / power conditioner. I live in the desert where we have many monsoon storms in the summer. After a lot of research and many hours spent on the web , I decided to go with a Belkin PF60. Thanks to gonk and Liz king for there own hook ups. I found it from ecost.com for a little over 200$. I feel more protected , can monitor incoming voltage and total amps of all banks or separately and have delay settings. Now you can spend your savings on that 7700!!
