Multi Zone Thermostats: Herpstat 2 vs Vivarium Electronics VE-300X2 ???

Thank You Guys for Input..

I have older version of Herpstat 1 and I'm planing to use it for my DIY Incubator... and with different sizes of heat tape in by sweater box and my future hatchling rack i need something what can control them independently.

With same Price Looks like I will go with Herpstat 2

Thanks Again :]

The VE300x2 has a temp alarm, but that is about it.

I guess an alarm can be called a safety feature so it has one that all the competition have but the Helix. It is unfortunate that VE choose to copy a 30 year old design and ignore all the innovations that follow after the Helix.

Great info here guys. I was also on the fence on which to get. I guess for running two different racks (adult and juvie), the herpstat 2 is the best way to go.
