    Herpstat intro +

    Pros:

    • $109
    • Dimming Style Proportional
    • Multiple layers of safety features including a safety relay that will cut power to the unit if it fails (prevents the thermostat from getting stuck in the "on" position)
    • Soft startup (slowly ramps the heat to the set temperature to prevent rapid temperature changes)
    • Built in night drop with temperature ramping
    • Hi/Low temperature tracking with alarms
    • Internal resolution of 0.1125 degrees F
    • Accurate to 0.9 degrees F
    • All settings are stored even after a power loss
    • Can be mounted into an incubator for a clean look.
    • Easy to navigate menu system


    Cons:

    • Small screen
    • 2pin Edison plugs



    VE-200D


    Pros:

    • Larger screen
    • hi/lo temperature tracking
    • all settings stored even after power loss
    • 3 pin (grounded) Edison plugs


    Cons:

    • $114.99
    • Night drop requires a separate unit
    • fewer safety features
    • poor menu system



    Conclusion:

    Both are good units but the herpstat delivers a lot more for less money
