    or

    https://www.spyderrobotics.com/index...products_id=26 for two heat sources.
    I think this is very true of NON PROPORTIONAL dial units, but I have the single dial model of this one and I DON'T find that to be true at all. Once i set this one, it stays at a stable temp. It is proportional and has a brain to control it. I have found that the only difference between setting with a dial vs a digital readout is that sometimes it takes a couple of adjustments to zero in on the temp you want, but once you do that, it holds just fine. Maybe I have been lucky, but mine has been running consistent temps for months without any adjustment.
