I bought my HW50C in 2004 and it WAS significantly better than any TRC/Southwire product. Since then TRC upgraded and compatible units from the two companies are similar.
My HW50C was mounted on a wall in the first MH and now on the ceiling in the current MH. No problems and no difficulty wiring it correctly.
I've never felt the need for just a "surge" protector. A power protector or EMS is essential for me. I wouldn't have a pedestal unit or one without a remote display. There have been just way to many times when the inside display have been convenient or the conditions would change before I could get outside to see a display. The only inside display downside that I see is one has to run the data cable as part of the installation.
Click for a Comparison Chart. To me the chart indicates that the PI units are better for specs and cost. I've had no reason to validate any of the chart information since my HW50C just keeps on ticking so I'll leave that up to others. :B
