Default Advice on auto feeders

I'm hoping to get some feedback about autofeeders as am looking to get one for those times when I'm gone. Below are links to the two I am looking at. If any of you have experience with either of these or have recommendations for a different model I would be interested.

I have had the EHEIM now for a few months and its pretty awesome, I do find with flake food you just need to watch it when it runs low because it doesnt seem to put out as much food then but great for the price.

I have had a pair of the Eheim Feeders running for several years.

I've never had them clog up or any malfunctions.

They are slightly less stable if the chamber is full of heavy pellets/foods. It wont tip, it just could be weighed more IMO.

I've found they work best for small pellets.

The AA batteries last forever. Been at least a year since I changed them last.

Pardon the hijack, does anyone use the Apex AFS? I have an Apex but wondering if it's worth it to buy the AFS or just get the Eheim feeder.
