I assume that the Joule ratings don't mean much, since the UPS I'm considering is rated for 1/10th the Joules of a cheap surge protector, true? This APC LS700VA is one I'm considering. I noticed it doesn't have coax or RJ-45 protection like some of the cheaper models without voltage regulation. Is this a decent ups/deal? Is voltage regulation really needed in a typical house?
