   I'm another Best adict. I've been using them for 10 years and never
   had a problem. My biggest beef with Best is that they don't advertise
   enough and they don't seem to have a very diverse distribution channel,
   i.e. Best beats bad boxes by being better but boasts boaringly.

This is very true.

For those who are interested:

The best (no pun intended) prices I have found are from ProSource
Power Inc. in Schaumburg, IL.  1-800-949-4797 or +1 708 350 7886
They sell most brands of UPS's, seem to be intelligent, were friendly
and helpful, didn't complain when I returned my APC unit (they have
a 7 day return policy, you pay return shipping) and seem to know
what they are about.
