No argument there, I'd almost consider my Torus INvaluable since my budget for power treatment would not permit me to replace it any time soon. What I find most satisfying (and comforting) about the Torus, the elegant simplicity of the design, is also perhaps it's biggest advantage when put up against the growing range of power gremlins out there. This thing is about as bulletproof as they come.
On a side note, as is typically the case with hurricanes, there was not a rumble to be heard from Irene. But boy did she give us a drenching! Downed lines, damaged transformers and flooded substations are nothing to take lightly of course.
