I'm mostly in the same boat - except I have one small APC UPS here that I'm still using, but I will be replacing it at some point.  I also have a couple of older 2KVA APC units and I absolutely won't use those - other than needing new batteries they do work, but I don't trust them one bit.  They were given to me and I plan on recovering some parts from them.  I wouldn't even give them away, lest they go up in smoke in someone else's house.

Eaton is where I've been looking - I just need to work out what will be staying here at home and what will end up off-site so I know what the load will look like longer term.

I've only ever heard good things about Eaton :-)
