Brian I do not know what your 1000 is capable of but the PF 60 has delayable outlets for amplifiers and other items that you want to have turned on after your pre/pro or AVR. The PF60 also has a nice display that tells you what each block/section on the back is drawing for power or it can tell you the total draw. It also displays the current input voltage. I have seen mine drop form 121V to 105V and then back in an instance. I am sure I must be forgetting a couple other features that I don't use as well.
