APEX with DC8 or EB8
I apologize if this has been covered numerous times. I have an APEX and its awesome, but I have the ability to purchase a DC8 for cheap. What do I loose if I use one instead of purchasing a brand new EB8?

- Fallback mode
- Current (amperage) monitoring - the respect of all other Apex owners (just kidding 'bout that last one, of course ) A reasonably-priced DC8 is a good addition IMO. |

Yeah, maybe I will wait then. Fallback is nice and to date I have not needed to use it, so I can wait. Rightnow I have my chiller and Aquariumplants regulator on their own power outlet...
