I have to admit I like the options on those with the ability to remotely monitor them from the internet. Just not sure if that's the ideal way to go with me being a control freak (was up at 5 am this morning just to check on Ceti's temps since I'm using a Hydrofarm and don't completely trust it). I'll definitely dig a little further into those two though before choosing one.
I've heard about the customer service and that is a huge selling point for VE but to get 2 of the VE300-2's is about $70 more than a Herpstat 4. :/
