Neptune is going to be coming out with a new controller called the "APEX" fairly soon. Looks pretty sweet. Actually, it looks a whole lot like the RKE.

I am surprise Profilux is not mention as much.
Profilux has tons of more features then both of those two controllers.
Their support is the best, being that they sell worldwide, they have the biggest customer base.
When you upgrade the Profilux, you only need to pay for the board itself, they do not force you to buy a new head unit.
The new Profilux III is coming soon, and being that I am Profilux II owner, I will be able to upgrade to the P3 at a discount because they appreciate current customer by rewarding them.
Just my 2-cent.
BTW, they got nice sales going on now.
Edit: I found this on RC, I am too lazy list them here, lol.

Profilux is great, but expensive.The same with Aquatronica.

They are the same price of a RKE Elite.
But the cool thing you will be able add to it, as your needs grows, without buying a new controller.

The RKE is very expandable, also, the RKE w/ the net module and all of the other goodies is only $590, not to mention it has two more outlets standard with it than the Profilux does. Isn't the Profilux Ethernet expansion card something like $200? Every little thing that you want to add to the Profilux seems to run like $200-$300. The wireless expansion card is nearly $400.
You can get Profilux II with a lan card for about $630, the RKE Elite cost about $599.99.
Your misleading if your saying the RKE Elite comes with everything, it does not.
The base model RKE Elite cost like $500 without the net card.
Once you start adding the cost, the Profilux is a much better deal with all the things you can do or add.
Bottom line, Profilux can handle more tasks and has more functions then the RKE Elite.
And that is without Profilux III being out yet.
