DM -- first of all thanks ;-)
Second, the only thing I have up my sleeve is lint! I don't work for Exactpower ;-)
Third, Bob basically decided he wanted to make the unit more robust in terms of protecting it (and the equipment plugged into it) from turn-on and turn-off problems (not associated with the basic waveform correction circuitry which works just fine ;-) To that end, he has designed (and patented) some new modules that not only limit in-rush current, but ALSO "remember" the condition of the EP's circuits when the unit is/was turned off. This little trick adds further protection for the unit (and your gear) when the unit is turned back on! BTW, Bob is a very creative engineer IMO ;-)
So having made these improvements/changes, he felt it would be worthwhile to give the EP greater capacity at the same time, and why not? It's such an efficient design to begin with, and with home systems (especially HT) growing larger and larger, that it seemed a no-brainer.
