i think you have a really good point - it might be a worthy investment 
to get 3-4 really long (high outlet count + long, heavy gauge cord), 
high quality power strips w/ something like this to replace the mishmash 
of different table receptacles we have now and localize outages as much 
as possible. the line coming into the box in the stage balcony i think 
is like 100 amps so we have some room to grow, but your suggestion is 
very practical for our application where we have been doing alot of 
uncontrolled daisy chaining.
