The advantage is that you get more control. You can decide to run in a certain mode at night and run a different mode in the morning and evening, and another mode during noon.
You can have waves from 5 pm till 7pm, etc... you can do pretty much anything you want. I lower the power at night, but I keep the else mode, just lower output.
With the Jebao controller you must change the mode manually if you want to change it, it cannot be automated.
I am not sure that you have a cable for the Apex controller available though. Many Apex users are buying the Reef Angel cable and retrofit it to the Apex controller. Maybe there is a cable available now, not sure.
