I can attest to the effectiveness of the name brand surge protector.
Had a lightening strike a few years ago very close.  Burned out attenna
coil or such on my TV; burned out my Hayes modem (didn't have protector
on the phone line ...  should remedy that) burned out a chip or two on
the SSC via the modem.  The II+ and everything else not mentioned above
connected to it came through fine.  I do now remember, however, to
unplug everything when it looks a like a bad storm is near.
