IDK what work they've done regarding risk/benefit, but the IEE now
stipulate that all new electrical installations(1) supplied by overhead
cabling need surge suppression at the consumer unit. So, if you have,
or buy, a property that gets it's supply fed underground, you don't need
the suppression gear.
As has been said elsewhere, this kit _may_ help save most gear, but
anything that's also connected to the telephone lines is doubly damned.
(1) This includes, but is not limited to, new built properties, rewires
and consumer unit replacements.
