Hi PI has a better warranty.

Seems like everybody is hung up on PI. Maybe they're right, but I have had surge guard for 18 years and it still works great. Been through all kinds of weather and has never failed.
This =used= to be true, if you believe the most recent reviews on PI. Quite a number of people, including people who have had PI for years, are complaining that PI has changed their replacement policy on units that have suffered an "event". Can't remember specifics without going back and re-reading them, but the new owners have changed things, and not for the better, it seems. The other biggest complaint is with the weather cover on the portables. If you have a cord with a handle on the plug, the cover won't close so you either have to cut off the handle on the plug or cut the cover to allow it to close over the plug. I gather that the older models had a deeper cover that would close over a handle.
Personally, I've been thinking of an autoformer, too.
