The devices cost about $100, plus probably another $100 to have the 
electrician install it.

So, your payback is a couple years or so.

Something else to consider.. does the electric utility supplied one come 
with any additional insurance for devices that get destroyed?  And, if 
you take a hit, and the device needs to be replaced, do they do that for 
free? (probably... but, on the other hand, the actual likelihood of a 
big enough transient to kill the device is pretty low)
