The outlet spacing is thoughtful. The front panel outlet is great. The optional Furman GN-LED gooseneck lamp to use in the back of the unit works perfectly. The voltage and current meter is accurate for steady state, however it seems to show an average over a few seconds, so don't depend on it to show you instantaneous highs or lows. The front panel LED lights are much better than the incandescent lamps my previous power conditioners and power filters used to have. This is a heavy unit that is really a power conditioner, not just a high frequency filter or spike protector. The output waveform is really a sine wave and it gracefully shuts down in over and under power conditions without damage to itself or your gear. I have a variac and I tested the under power shutdown. It did exactly what it was supposed to do. I also had mine open because I replaced the integrated power cord with a 50' cable. The construction and quality of components on the inside is first class. Take a look at the insides of this and the insides of the inexpensive power bars and you'll immediately be glad you bought this unit.
