        I hate to disagree with you Steve, but the big apple proportional "works" but most definitely is not the best out there. As a matter of fact I have many problems with it and how it is built.

        The best thermostat for your money that you will definitely not regret purchasing would be the Helix DBS 1000. I own both the big apple proportional and the Helix DBS 1000 and the Helix blows the big apple away in so many ways it isn't even funny.

        ---------------------
        Helix:

        Pros: Digital display, very easily set, very accurate, displays the current temperature at all times (acts as a thermometer), and just an overall wonderful thermostat.

        Cons: Sorry I have found no downfalls to this thermostat except the fact that you have to buy a seperate unit for a nighttime drop. Well worth it though and well worth the money.

        Big Apple:

        Pros: Works good and is a bit cheaper, comes with built in nighttime drop.

        Cons: Dial setting, temperature not accurate with dial, doesn't display temps, nighttime drop is just a little knob on bottom and VERY hard to set. Overall not worth the money when comparing to the Helix.

        Just my opinions and experiences!
        ------------------------

        Just my opinion. BTW you can pick up the Helix at beanfarm.com. Great customer service from them!

            Hey Slither,

            Don't be sorry..

            Thats what makes forums good. I haven't had any problem with the one I have used for 2 years. So that makes it good in my book.. The Helix ones I have not owned so I can say one way or the other.. Slither how on line sells them and how much do they run?
