Looked at the Zoeller drop-in kits; good if I didn't have something already there but I'm trying to avoid overkill. I'm all about redundancy, but applied properly. My reasoning is why spend the extra $$$ on a kit when I've got most of the high dollar parts on hand less a 12V pump. And, if I don't need to buy that...

Good point on the UPS though. The extra I have is a line interactive 1.5Kva sitting in my rack in the basement gathering dust, have to pull up the spec on it. Granted, they're designed more to allow graceful shutdowns and transfers than long term backup.

The whole house generator hasn't left my option list.
