Ed,
Any such lightning/surge protection should be taking place at the panel end of circuits, not the sub-circuit end, it's too late by the time it's passed the panel and the GEC.
What this sort of technology means is that you will have to up-sell surge diverters.
Considering that everyone and their dog has a new LCD/plasma screen as well as computers, etc to protect, why is this such a hard sell?
