    the 600w Exo Terra thermostat says it's dimming and pulse proportional, would that be better than the Inkbird, which is on/off

    absolutely. that type of control is far superior and will help the thermostat run safer and last longer.

    Honestly i would look at what passive safeties the T-stats in your area have. That is most important. Then i look for proportional over an on/off model.

    Have you looked in ISTAT? From what i hear they are great from all the Euro guys. I know they have come over to the states now but I'll stick to my Herpstats.
