I just _hate_ hype that doesn't include at least a ballpark estimate of
the price.  Are these UPSes a particular deal, like $200 for the dink
one and $400 for the big one?  There are many companies making/selling
nearly equivalent products.  Price is the big issue, especially when you
are protecting a $1200 machine.
