Mikey,

Better for what?

If it works for you and you like it. Why not?

Usually, if a product costs more money, it usually has better contact material, better or larger wire, a better fail rate, higher quality circuit breakers, high quality MOV over-voltage protection... bla, bla, bla... usually. ok?

There are many products advertized as optimum protection and or filtering, but in my experience non of these power-strip style units really do much except distribute power. Just buy the good ones that do a good job at distribution with a good circuit breaker in them so that you don't overload. Buy a SurgeX if you need noise filtering. If you need Voltage regulation; well, now that's big deal and cannot be done with a small unit & usually requires a heavy transformer and control circuitry.

Cheers,
John
