Beer cooler vs keggerator

Has anyone any advise or opinions on beer coolers like they have in a bar?

I've a keggerator at the moment that holds 3 kegs but the missus has been hinting about it taking up too much space recently. So I thought I should look into a beer cooler.

How are they for power? I've somewhere in mind for keeping it and the kegs where the temp is always between 10-16 degrees.

Any thoughts?

Use to have one but switched to a kegerator as it was loud and the beers tended to foam if I used any sort of high pressure. You can fix that with a lot of line, but it is a lot
Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead
Conditioning: Lambic, Cider, RIS, Ole Ale, Saison
On Tap: IPA, Helles, Best Bitter

Hmmm so they're probably not a good idea.
