Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but I think the "owner" obviously isn't educated on what surge suppression versus surge elimination is. And how can anything be "overpriced for home use" when protecting expensive equipment? That's like saying you want to be stingy on buying a bullet proof vest. So what would a SurgeX product be priced for?
There never has been one documented account of a SurgeX product failing, they are that good! But there are many horror stories of the APC, Monster, Panamax products failing suffering a catastrophic failure. SurgeX are made in the U.S but the others are made in China often in undisclosed factories so the quality control is poor.

The owner obviously doesn't think highly of your HT and basically by insulting you he meant: "A professional high quality surge eliminator isn't needed to protect some run of the mill electronics."
I really really recommend and suggest a SurgeX model to get the best protection available downstream at the power outlet.
