TrippLite hospital grade power stripe

Has anyone tried TrippLite hospital grade power strips? Such as (http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=836&txtModelID=2661). I was going to build the DIY power center found at Audio Tweaks but in my search for parts I found the TrippLite website and now I'm not sure which way to go. I'd appreciate opinions from the more experienced.

Thanks,
Marvin

FWIW in every hospital I have worked in (I am an anesthesiologist so it's been many over the years!) all of them use the WireMold power strips. They are green dot certified and run large gauge wire and are solidly built. I tried to find a link for you but wasn't having any luck.

I suspect by looking at the two (mine and the tripplite you linked to that the Wiremold is a lot more $$.
