Hi Foxtan,
Welcome to AA!
Regarding the MPC-12A, AFAIK, this product is discontinued, and no longer in production. The new Venom V16 PD has newer and improved noise reduction technology. Also, the outlets in V16 are completely new, and grip the power cord plugs considerably more tightly than the older-design outlets for a better connection to the PC's plug. And, it has four more outlets.
And...it also has the proprietary Shunyata GP-NR (ground-plane noise reduction) technology, which the MPC-12A does not.
If you prefer a top-access, you can buy a Rack Mount version, and place it face-down so the outlets are oriented vertically. The front panel of the rack mount version is a perfectly flat peice of aluminum.
Job done.
