Good point. I guess its all about how much you use your rig and where you use it at.

Full time or even 6 -7 mo a year + you see lots of high temps and have to have your AC all the time = get the Hughes.

Or Mostly a Weekender like me + I can live without my AC for a few hours if the Surge guard says the voltage is too low and turns it off.

Plus my rig is very small so I dont want to take up any extra room (or add weight) more than nessasary. But a large DP Class A like Grizz has.... it might be something to consider.
