Zoe, The lower end "Rack Rider" (under $50.00) are just that . . . glorified power strips. I've owned a few of those, because because they ARE convenient (and tidy) if you have a big rack. But if you want "power conditioning" you gotta look at the more expensive models that offer that feature . . . not just "spike protection". For that you will likely spent 5x that much. Furman gear is tough and well made though. That's about all I can say to recommend them though. If you're at NAMM go to their booth and talk to a fellow named Steve Rose. If you do, tell him Ted Killian says hello (former work colleague of mine). There are plenty of other brands out there too . . . Furman is by no means the best. Probably the most affordable though.
