Any Downside To Installing A Whole Home Surge Protector?

I'm wondering if there is any downside to installing a whole home surge protector at the mains. I've found that plugging my amp into one reduces the sound quality, while plugging it into the wall makes me nervous. 

 

A local electrician will install one at the mains that drain any hit through the ground for $375. This will protect everything in my condo.

No downside here - one thing i did notice

  • I’m in a new house and the breakers always seemed super sensitive 
    • i.e. some of them tripped whenever we had a power outtage
  • Once I installed the surge protector the breakers now seems to work normally
  • BONUS !
