If you get the Helix 1500 watt system or the Helix basic system they will both measure in tenths of a degree ... not that it matters at all, but if that's your preference, Helix can certainly accomodate you.

I don't know if one is better than the other (Helix or Herpstat) ... to me, it's just a matter of personal preference ... I use Helix stats because I've been using them since long before Herpstats were available (10+ years) and they've never failed me ... for me, they are time tested and 100% reliable ... no reason for me to even think about another product.

I really like the auto-dialer feature on my Helix's ... not sure if Herpstat does that or not ... but if the incubator every gets below 88 or above 90, I get a call on my cell and a message indicating what is going on. I use the same feature in my snake rooms to monitor temps while I'm not in the shop.

Hope this helps.
