Great job, Andy, and thank you for sharing it with us! That's a solid, unbiased, comparison, and should help anyone on the fence. I, too, was surprised that ST & CS, both, have not kept up on their element sizing! One other thing, about the CS controllers - they are NOT PID controllers, only an analog controller with a digital display. Old Sarge (Dave) owns one, and we did a temp test one time; the swings were every bit as big as the standard SIs!
