Choke regulation vs power conditioner


As you all know the Musical Fidelity A3CR and A3.2CR range have dual choke regulation. this is claimed to filter out electrical noise and interference. If this is correct then perhaps a Power conditioner is not necessary, just a simple PC UPS might suffice for surge protection only. Net result hundreds if not thousands of dollars saved.
I am taking receipt of MF A3.2 power amp, pre-amp and CD player soon. Does my reasoning stand-up or am I deluding myself?

For surge protection the Brick Wall works well. For sound quality dedicated lines have been better for me than power conditioners. My NuVista M3 has choke regulation but since I don't have an identical amp without it it is hard to say how much it contributes to the sound of the M3, which I find to be extremely good.
