i think you have a really good point - it might be a worthy investment
to get 3-4 really long (high outlet count + long, heavy gauge cord),
high quality power strips w/ something like this to replace the mishmash
of different table receptacles we have now and localize outages as much
as possible. the line coming into the box in the stage balcony i think
is like 100 amps so we have some room to grow, but your suggestion is
very practical for our application where we have been doing alot of
uncontrolled daisy chaining.

Re: Replace Sudo elec outlets with GFI
I may be able to lower the Drama Levels by suggesting that folks
Hardware Hacking on mains voltage use a WAY LOWER amp breaker for their
Hackery;

Either shell out a few bucks to buy one& slap it into a power strip...
or scavenge a similar/lower rated one from some scrapworthy device.
Idea is- the 5er or lower will pop WAY before risking anyone else
getting shut down. I had a "test box" with Variac. volt& meters and
switch selectable breakers from 1/2 to 15 amps for test/hacking and it
saved a lot of headaches let alone preventing damages:>
