    the EZ has the main safety relay that shuts the system off if it fails internally. it just doesn't have the internal memory if it turns off or power outage detection. or the backlit LCD screen and the ability to manually input an exact temp.

    EDIT: the Intro+ (which is "under" the Herpstat 1) also has the internal safety relay.

    EDIT 2: here is the main difference between the EZ and the Intro+; this is what the Intro+ has
    Built in Safety Relay on Herpstat Intro+ models to help protect against solid state failures causing "run away" heating.
