Default Anyone tried a switchable, "conserve" power strip with on/off remote?

Hey power experts-

I've recently discovered my HT equipment (especially my Panny plasma) are major power hogs. I'm trying to save some money on my monthly power bills, and have found some of these remote power strips that you can actually turn off when not in use.

The ones I've seen (made by Belkin) have 6-8 outlets that are switchable, and 2 that are always on. Here a link to one of them.

Does anyone have any experience with these? Right now I use a <gasp> Monster HT Power Center that has voltage regulation. I'd hate to give up the voltage regulation to save some money, but then wondered if I could actually plug my power center IN to one of the switchable outlets on the Belkin? Anyone know?
