Opinions: Regenerated Power a good alternative to A Dedicated line?

I made the decision not to get dedicated lines because I don't plan to stay in my current home for many more years. In addition, because of it being on a concrete slab, and the location of my family room, the install would be more difficult and expensive than usual (more than $1k). As an alternative I ordered an APS Purepower regenerator that converts (AC to DC to AC). It's suppose to produce a steady 120 volt sine wave at 60 cycles even at full ouput. I can plug in my integrated and sources and have surge/spike protection. Purepower claims there is no current limiting with their units and from everyone I've communicated with they like the performance of their systems plugged into this regenerator.

Do you think a power regenerator is a good alternative when a dedicated line is impractical?

I also have a Shunyata Hydra and ps audio ultimate outlet. Anyone trying a power conditioner on a regenerated line, or have these devices become irrelevant now that I'll be using electricity converted from AC to DC to a 120 volt AC sine wave at 60 cycles? I plan to try the Purepower regenerator by itself and possibly try the Hydra and ultimate outlet plugged into the Purepower at some point just to hear the affects. Anyone tried power conditioning with power regeneration? Thanks for your feedback.
