If you are leaning toward Apex the Apex Jr isn't bad price wise considering all that it is capable of & a good controller to start with in my opinion. I paid $240 for mine brand new with the display. you can add a module to measure the ph & add energy bars as needed. I added a VDM module to control my kessil light. For me I wanted a controller & price was a major concern so starting with the Apex jr & buying add on modules & energy bars over time worked for me. I figure it has good resale value as well if I decide to buy the full apex i can get a decent amount of the original cost back on resale.
