I'm guessing you mean to ask him besides the HUGE price difference...lol

Price is always a consideration, however it usually differentiates some of the capabilities one product can do over the other.

Was price your only consideration?

for me i only need a few functions and dont need a $600 controller on the 1 tank however on the larger system i will be looking at something a bit better

price was defiantly an issue on this one as im on a 13 year olds budget

another thing was i really dont need something as elaborate as the profilux for this tank.
it's going to be going on a system that's about 40 gallons in all, so i thought the RKL would be a good alternative.

I got it from the digital aquatics online store for about $410 dollars Canadian(that includes shipping), it's package three so it comes with everything i need.

it comes with expandability possibilities, with 3 ports, so you can hook up PC4's(four plug outlet),SL1's (for salinity,orp,and ph probes. holds up to 2 probes) and MLC's (a LED moonlight type device)

since this expandability is available, they set up 3 different bundles.

bundle 1 comes with:
1 x Head unit
1 x PC4 (4 outlets)
1 x temperature probe
bundle 2 comes with:
1 x Head unit
1 x PC4 (4 outlets)
1 x SL1 (Inputs: pH, ORP, Temperature, 2 x Switch Ports)
1 x Temperature probe
bundle 3 comes with:
1 x Head unit
2 x PC4 (total of 8 outlets)
1 x SL1 (Inputs: pH, ORP, Temperature, 2 x Switch Ports)
1 x Temperature probe
1 x FREE Digital Aquatics pH probe
