PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton

Has anyone compared the PS Audio Power Port outlet to the upgraded outlets available at Home Depot from Leviton, etc.? I looked yesterday, and the Depot had commercial and industrial (although not hospital grade) outlets, and although the outlets looked a little more durable, the electrical contacts didn't appear much different than standard. Obviously, the Power Port is a lot more $$$, but I'm wondering if it isn't understandable for nickel plating on the contacts.

Also I've seen some references on these threads to cryo treatment...could someone elaborate?

I've got EIGHT Legacy AWD Wagons you guys can use to drive to HD in the snow to inspect the differences among AC connectors! Come and get' em!

Seriously, whereas the Leviton hosp grade is considered flawed, they make a GREAT Pro-grade PLUG for $10 that I prefer to the Hubbell. For outlets the P&S as modded by ACME is great. Wish somebody would make a cheap IEC that's sturdier than the Schurter....

Sean...A good FRENCH IEC? I spent a decade trying to teach french engineers a bit about QA, but eventually the masochism/hedonism quotient tipped the wrong way.
Where do I find it?
Cheers.
