You know, I once had a Comfort Clock, as they existed about 20 years ago.  That was never an official part of the "Quantum Products" product line, but there were 3rd party distributors that sold them.  As I recall, this was quite weak, much weaker than the Quantum Pro or Home, and I didn't really find it to do much for me at the time.   Although I think I still had my mercury dental fillings in at the time, which may have been overriding any benefit I might be getting from any EMF protection device.

I never looked too closely at the Nordost products, mostly because they were outrageously expensive.  Also I think they similar to the "Symphony" by ADD-Powr, which I already established for myself to be not as good as Quantum Products.

As for how many I use, it depends on the environment I'm in.  At work I used my strongest Quantum Pro, plus a power conditioner.  At home I use a weaker (original) Quantum Pro, plus a power conditioner.  And I turn the Quantum Pro off overnight, as I find leaving it on makes it difficult for me to sleep through the night.   I do find that there are issues with "too little" and "too much" Quantum Product usage, and over time I get the balance right for the particular environment.

But yes, I do use more than one Quantum Products product at a time -- they also had a portable "Quantum Companion" that I also use on top of everything else.

And yes, the power strip/power conditioner is used to plug in my PC, monitor, printer, etc.  That's the best place for it to be plugged in, as those are the electronics that are causing me the most issues during the day.  

And the Quantum Pro is right underneath the monitor, so I have easy access to it, and can adjust the power up or down as needed.

That I do not know.  I have never used these things with shielding around them.

I will also add that if you can find a used Russ Andrews Clarity Pro, that is exactly the same thing as a Quantum Pro.  As in it is a relabeled Quantum Pro, made by the same people.   But they no longer sell these new.
