there seems to be a pretty big discrepancy between the joule rating on some surge protectors that
have a 1700 rating, and the APC back-UPS ES 500 that only has a 365 rating. I like the extras that a
UPS provides but i dont want to sacrifice on protection form surges. how well do you think that the
surge protection of the APC ES 500 stacks up against that of the APC Performance SurgeArrest 7
Also im am not looking to spend more than about $50. I am leaning towards getting a UPS and
i have read about AVR (automatic voltage control) that only comes with the more expensive APC models.
