I did my research before I bought my MES 30 and planned on converting to PID whenever the inevitable happened. It's been 3 years or so of light use and I figured I was on barrowed time. Time to make a move while I can afford it.
I fell into the "for a few dollars more" trap. Originally wanted just a simple build a box Auber unit but decided I couldn't put together the whole thing for the cost of a single probe plug & play. Then, for just a little more, I get 2 probes and it goes on and on. Finally settled on the wifi unit, mostly because the phone app appears to make it very easy to program multiple steps. Of course, "for a few dollars more" I could get a smaller probe for smaller meats. Yep, I bit again. Worst case I have a spare probe, all be it a small one.
"For a few dollars more" appears to apply to shipping as well. It should be here the middle of next week.
