Monster Power bars?

what’s the difference between the smaller 100-200$ Monster power bars vs. the 500-600$ bars.
What would be the best for a HDTV, VCR and Satalite receiver?
What would be best for a sterio system, amp, dvd, cd?
I need two because of the distance between my sound system and the TV – do I really have to spend the 600$ to get good protection?
Thanks to anyone who can clarify this.

No, you don’t have to spend that much to get good protection. The Tripp Lite Isobar is one of the best on the market and costs way less. You can get them in 2 to 10 outlet models. They’re great.

No, I’m not connected with them, but have used them for over 20 years.
