Default auxiliary power distributor

i need one of those gadgets that distributes power from a fused module.
the only one i have heard of is the "centech" unit.
i did not want to order if there is something cheaper or better out there.
it will go on my 07 GSA.
thanks in advance for your input.

I went with centech II. So one side switched one not. There is also eastern beaver, and another whose name escapes me. All have pros and cons. I think the cost varied as well but not radically.

Fuzeblock. Small, built in relay, but a limit of 10 amps/circuit, 30 amps total.

My install: http://www.snafu.org/pics/r1200gs/2009/0204-fuzebox/

This one looks interesting, but I don't know anything about it other than the link info.

I went with this one:

This guy Tom manufactures the bracket and builds out the custom harness for your specific application. On the GS it positions the Centech panel forward against the airbox which both frees up the tool kit area and makes for a cleaner install as most wires will be coming from forward of that.
Best part is the "wow, this is a nice piece of engineering" I felt when I took it out of the box. Makes for a very professional install.

Touratech makes a CanBus friendly distribution device - relay and fuse protected for around $30 that will isolate your goodies from the CanBus and does not require a fusible link that the other distribution panels should have.
