[X4U] APC power backup units for a 27.5 iMac

[john dach]

I am trying to figure out which APC unit I should get for a 27 in iMAC, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 and an Airport 3 TB unit.  I cheated out their site and now I am REALLY confused.  I was at Office Max and they "sold me" a APC NS 1080 but I don't think this is an appropriate unit for a MAC.  There is no Powerchute downloads for Apple on the APC site.  We are on the Olympic Peninsula in WA state and we have a LOT of brown outs and goodie power.  My old APC unit (Backup Pro 500) served me well and is now rather old and keeps switching to battery, I think the sending switch is just old and too sensitive.  I have replaced the battery a couple of times over the years and it is tie to get a new unit.  

Anyway, any thoughts as to the "correct" unit for the iMAC.  I have attached a screen capture of what APC recommends, but these seem a bit pricy.  I guess I could get the Pro 1300 for $209.99 but that is about 2X what I was expecting.  If this is what I need to do, I will, but if I can be protected for less, I could get more fishing gear!!!!!!!!! (joke,,,,,, well sort of!!!!!!!!!!!).

Thought from any of you terrific folks would be MOST appreciated.
