The only downside to the Che for me is that yes it seems to enjoy killing water particles in the air. however when my infrared bulb blew up and shot glass everywhere I decided I would rather put a little more effort into humidity upkeep than risk that again. Che's are much higher quality and last a lot longer. I just put mine on a high wattage dimmer, and keep a moist wash cloth in a corner that I change out every other day and the humidity is perfect. Don't even need to spray with the cloth in there.
Myself, I would recommend the Che, especially if the red bulb is a lingering bother.
