Take this with the grain of salt that I do not work for APC, but for a sister company. The word that I have heard is that they are in no rush to discontinue any of the product line. In fact rumor is that APC was very happy to have the MGE products available to them for sale to customers. As a side note I have several MGE UPS in service and have had zero problem getting support and maintenance from APC for them.
Interesting. The reason I ask is that I'm kind of attracted to the MGE Galaxy and its paralleling N+1 capability. I had a bad experience with a frame shorting out a few years ago after it went into bypass but didn't shut off the inverter output; hilarity ensued. It seems like the Galaxy and Smart VT overlap, although the Galaxy has better specs on paper. I was also recommended a Symmetra PX 80kW frame. I asked my rep and they were kind of ambiguous about the MGE line, hence my redirect of the question here. ~Seth
