I have Furman Elite 20PFI and like it very much.  I bought it used for about $650.  It has very tight non-sacrificial over/under voltage protection and I believe that it filters HF noise well.  My previous amp had plain unregulated power supply and did not suffer any loss of dynamics when plugged into it (high current bank).  I have whole house spike protection, but Furman already turned off circuit breaker few times.  When it happened I noticed bulbs got brighter for a moment.  Now with double protection I feel very safe.  Whole house protection is a must since everything these days is electronic, including appliances and even light bulbs, but Furman gives me extra protection for expensive gear.
The 20PFI has a big toroidal transformer inside to help with blocking A/C noise.  It also has the Power Factor Technology "current reservoir".  This is a big capacitor inside the power conditioner which gives faster immediate current to your devices which the A/C line would not normally provide.  The 20PFI is very expensive, but these two items really provide a lot more.

The 15PFI also has the "current reservoir" capacitor, but lacks the toroidal transformer.  It's less expensive, but still better than the "DMI".
