Just a suggestion. Instead of paying all that extra money why not just put in a whole house surge protection at your breaker box. There are a few out there that are highly regarded. You can put it for just the line to your equipment or the whole house. Check out the following.

The EP-2050 is the one.

The XN120 about half way down the page.
If you look under Pro and Consumer there are more.
The EP-2050 is the easiest and most cost effective. It would set you back,the last time I checked, about $700-1000 installed by an election. Otherwise about half that for DIY. The high end also includes any additional parts you might need. It is also the least intrusive.
Good luck and let us know what happens.
