Has anyone bought this device yet? I'm looking to buy it and I was wanting to weight the pros and cons before I take the plunge.

I guess not one single person has used this equipment?

I have one, works good for what I use it for which is to control lights and monitor Ph and temp.

I have had mine for about 4 weeks now. I like it a lot and have not had any problems that others have reported. I have upgraded the firmware on all devices. Firmware upload is easy and straightforward.

This is my first controller so I can't compare it to anything, and I haven't had any time to really try a lot of features.

Functionality is easy to navigate and straightforward.
I read a lot about the controllers, and the only thing is I wish it had is options to program specific controls with if-else and micro-controller commands (I am a computer programmer). I believe profilux has these options.

I bought mine used for $450 and didn't have the extra cash to get a profilux.
If I had an extra $ I might have bought the profilux.

I guess there is a deal on pro-filux:

If I could do it over again I think I would go for the profilux, because I think it has more options. Tunze control is a huge plus for me.

I've had mine since last May. Controls everything in my system and has perfromed extremely well. I love it and it just keeps getting better. My NET module is inbound this week.

I returned mine after about a week. It was too much trouble to continue to update firm ware on all of the components everytime something changed....to pricey for so much work.

TO PRICEY FOR SO MUCH WORK???? Are you kidding have priced any of the other controllers?
