I've been a hardcore Helix guy for the last couple years, I own a bunch of Helix's. However for my incubator project I wanted to get a thermostat that displayed temps to a tenth of a degree. Since I heard SO MUCH positive feedback about the herpstats I decided to try one and I am really happy with it so far.
Right now I need a new thermostat for a new rack I have on order so I took a look at the Herpstat ND. Slick looking setup, built in night drop and a BLUE LCD! all for about the same price as DBS-1000? I'm sold.
My main point though is I would like to see some innovation from Helix. I'd like to see some kind of new product, something to try to compete with what Herpstat is rolling out these days.
