I agree with you there, and we have tried using exactly the ones you described as secondary protectors, but for some reason, those Panasonic hybrid ports just can't seem to hold up to anything. We learned this from a bed and breakfast in the mountains with 20 remote cabins. Every time there was even a hint of a storm we would randomly lose ports. We changed out their system to another brand two years ago and haven't had a problem since.
