Steve,

I have the als 600 and frankly, when I jumped from about 600 watts output to 
1200 out back in the tube days of running amps, I started getting reports 
from neighbors which I had to deal with.  A little extra power helps a lot 
during poor conditions such as we have been experiencing but this way I 
don't have to run anything on 220.  Shoot, my electric bill is unbelievable 
already, haha.

Phil.
