ReptiTemp 500r = garbage

[MitsuMike]

Can anyone tell me what the ReptiTemp 500R is like on a rack? Is it better when used with heat tape instead of UTH's?

I am ordering a rack in about a week and I am just wondering if these Reptitemp 500r's are better with racks instead of tanks or if I should go with something a little more established like a Helix.

The flexwatt will be better than a UTH b/c the ZooMed UTH's ALWAYS try and peak out on you vs the flexwatt doesn't. I personally wouldn't trust my 500R on my rack. I like having the feeling of not having to check it 4 times a day so Im not freaking out all the time.
