What is the specific problem with SmartUPS SC? We have both SC and 
regular, and apart from fewer LEDs on the cheaper device, we are not sure 
what the difference might be. >

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is what the UPS does when the power 
is restored. Some keep the power to the protected devices off (Belkin) and 
some can restore power, if set to do so (APC).
