Bacically this thing has everything you could possibly want in an incubator thermostat and nothing that you wouldn't want (to keep costs down). The competition (VE thermostats/helix thermostats) are using outdated technology at a premium price. They don't have the safety features that the herpstat intro + does yet cost just as much if not more. The other thermostats on the market (ranco/Johnson's/hydro farm) aren't accurate enough to trust as a thermostat for an incubator.
I have a custom built PVC incubator with a herpstat intro. It's working absolutely wonderfully!
