Yeah, for PDs with ≥10 outlets, it's going to be better than pretty much everything until you get up to the level of the Alpha A12 (I'm not including the Delta D6 here is that is a different class of product, primarily for use with digital devices). And, yes, the Denali V2 is a big step up. The extra ~26 DB of of noise-reduction and the QR/BB device in that really sets it apart.

The fact it has a captive noise-reducing power cord is a key attribute to its performance. So, agreed it's a good design move.
