You have to look at the cost-benefit ratio. I presume you are
insured, so why spend mega-bucks for protection which probably
wouldn't work on a direct hit, anyway. Do you think your homeowners
ins. co. is going to give you an "ultimate lightning protection
discount?"
I believe reasonable lightning protection makes sense (after all, we
still have a deductible), but why go overboard? That's what insurance
is for...
