AC outlets

I'm considering replacing my 20 amp Hospital grade ac outlets by Leviton, for better audio quality outlets.
I read a review that ACME ac outlets are a good value @ $45.00 and Mastro outlets @ $89.00 are also recommended.
If you use either of these I'd like to know your impressions. Or, if you replaced your ac outlets which did you chose.
I'm using solid state components.

Also, did anyone find replacing the ac face plate improve your system?

Thanks,

Rick.

@oldhvymec, 
"Bling is good.. I like bling on a good lookin girl.. JUST BLING."
Obviously a Randy Newman fan, "You Can Leave Your Hat On."

Bling is OK if you can afford it as long as you realize that is all it is.
From a performance standpoint any 20 amp outlet will do just fine. If you can not afford "bling" at least spend your money on something that might actually make an improvement although lately it is getting harder to tell what that actually is. If you don't want everyone to see how crude your excellent system is just hide everything. Ignorance is bliss.

I have used the Maestro, and Synergistic Research red duplexes.  I switched to the Audioquest duplex because it has a tighter grip on on some heavier power cords and in my opinion is a better made duplex.  I also like the hubbell  hospital grade duplex that I use on my video system.
