APC used to be waaaay ahead of the pack, but I don't find that to be ture anymore. Their quality has gone down a little, and the quality of the other players in this space have gone up quite a bit.
I'm fine with Tripplite, APC and CyberPower UPS products in the 500VA to 3000VA range. That said, there are some additional features that are provided at each point, including line conditioning, which may not be available at a lower price point. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 10:25 AM, Reimer, Mark <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi folks, > > > > I’ve done some (or tried to) research on the differences between APC > Backups vs Smart-UPS, or Tripp Lite SmartPro vs OmniSmart.
