I just installed 3 gang Arlington boxes in a friend's house. 1 gang power, isolated from 2 gang LV/data. These boxes look good. I also found a way to mount 1 in a 12x12x4 metal box for a surface mount application.
Try these if you have not already. Only down side I see is that the power box is really not large enough for more than 1 12-2 NM cable. 17.5 sq inch, legally allows 5 conductors plus device. But the box is not squared out, has a lot of inset where cable comes in. If you do them, try to set up a j box somewhere with only 1 NM per box, or set 1 up as end of line.
I need to call Arlington and suggest that they square out the box space. That should be easy enough to do.
