>>I believe I got the gist of what you had to say, which was that though the Brickwalls provide good protection, so do most of the better MOV based protectors, particularly when encountering the more typical, real world surges.

I think so. I'm still chewing on all the different scenarios. Bottom line, I think, is that for the scenarios the BrickWall *does* cover it seems to be a superior product, but it doesn't cover what seem to be some common scenarios because doing so with the BrickWall solution would double or triple the cost, but providing that protection with a MOV adds about a buck to the cost.

The ideal solution, it would seem, would be for BrickWall to quietly add a MOV between Hot and Ground when nobody was looking
