I just added a APC BP700UC UPS to my MAC PRO to ride through power glitches and short outages. In the SysPref > Energy Saver > UPS it recognizes that the UPS is there including model number.
The USP comes with its own PrefPane called PowerChute. I assume that I don't need to install it inasmuch as the SysPref > Energy Saver > UPS pane must have established communication with the UPS to know the model number.
Anyone have any experience with this and can verify my conclusion?

You can't see that running a battery down until there is less than 2 minutes of run time left on the APC might not allow the battery to recharge, and not allow you to shutdown gracefully?
Yes, Energy Saver should - it just sends a command to the system to initiate a shutdown.
The Mac Pro makes a demand for more power on wake from sleep state than normal. And normally my system with one monitor is using 350W now, or just under the 865W that the 1500VA is rated for. 50% is actually reasonable. You don't want to be using or asking a UPS to be at 80%.
If you install Windows, you can see what PowerChute would/should be offering. And it hasn't been updated since '06 which means not 10.4.10 let alone 10.5.1 tested.
When I talked to APC years ago, they were interested in OS X and the Mac and supporting it.
