Yes, the outlet kind look just like the power sentry outlets, very lightweight and cheap looking, however the strip is black (looks quite cheap also) but says APC on it. So they are using a low level APC surge protector for their strip.
As for the Isobars I will check ebay, surprised that Tripplite would reducethe quality of their product like that though.
