I have several Belkin SurgeMaster Gold (F9G726DE3M-GRY) power outlet strips for stuff like TV, stereo, projector and the like but now the switches on some of them start to fail.
Until now, they were reliable and I like the form factor a lot (flat, 2x4 outlets so they couldn't topple over).
Unfortunately, they are obviously not produced anymore and Belkin now seems to offer only stuff with much lesser technical specs. E.g. 900J absorbed energy instead of 3240J.
So the price for the remaining SurgeMaster units has exploded and easily reaches 80€ now which is about twice of what I'd like to pay (and have paid in the past).
So I'm looking for alternatives with similar design and specs from a company with some reputation min the 30-50€ range. Surprisingly, there doesn't seem to be that much of a selection as I thought.
Actually, only the APC PL8VT3 (which also seems to be discontinued) and the APC PM8 seem to come close to what I want (2x4 outlets, >2000J absorbed).
Are there any brands with good reputation that I overlooked?
