    I ordered by RBI cb70 last night around 7 pm est along with some other items and they shipped this morning. I'm not seen 1 bad review or experience with them either. I think when you total up all the related costs and price difference is negligble.

    If you are going to need more than 3 slots, I would go with AP.
    Larger units = less t-stats

    I'm going to need 7 tubs so I would need 3 of the rbi racks with 2empty spots or a AP rack I guess Ap rack would b easier but are they good quality racks ?

    I don't have one but that's who I'm going with.
    All the research I have done leads me back to AP, racks and cages.

    One negative with the larger racks. The longer heat tape can have bigger fluctuation in temps.

    Seems like they all have pros and cons.

    Both are great. I have an RBI and I love it! With RBI racks, they come with tubs, heat, and free shipping. With AP, you have to pay for shipping and tubs, but the actual rack is a little cheaper. RBI is super fast shipping and AP has an 8-10 week lead time, so if you need one quickly, take that into consideration.

    Overall, both are vary nice and it's really up to you which one you get.

    I whole heartedly endorse AP. Great quality and easy to put together.

    I am sure the RB ones are good as well.

    Exactly right. I have 2 RBI racks and since they came WITH tubs and shipping, they actaully worked out to be a bit cheaper. Best value for the price. AP racks are good quality, but so are the RBI racks so these were the best value. Plus, a good t-stat will run all three so you still only need 1 t-stat. :gj:

    Plus 2 extra spaces isn't that much - you'll fill them in no time, lol....... :P

    I just got a RBI rack and a herpstat 2 (well still waiting for the t-stat to arrive). I read through the instructions for hooking up the t-stat but I'm still not 100% sure about placement and such. Could you possible post a pic or 2 and maybe a short description of how you set yours up? Thanks.
