I did some looking around (I had an APC) and all the APC branded crap you get in the stores are cheaper, inferior options. I found out the BX-prefixed models don't even have proper AVR (they only correct when the voltage drops below a certain point, they don't do anything in an overvoltage situation. The BR-prefixed models are like the old UPS of lore, they offer true AVR for both undervolt and overvolt situations, and the one I have even has an option for an extra battery pack for extended runtime (BR1500G.)
I should add that at least APC designated the BX and BR models as different product lines... the BX models are known as Back-UPS XS models, and the BR line is knows as Back-UPS Pro models.
