I have the Auber PID with my model 2 and it's great. You program it for temp and time or internal meat temp and let it do it's thing. I did order a maverick a couple days ago to replace my walmart unit that died. I like being able to see the temps without running outside to check. If you were only going to get one I would go with the Auber.
The Auber is fantastic, and well-worth the money. I also have a Maverick ET-732, and wouldn't survive without it. While the Auber does monitor the meat temp, it does not give the remote capability. I like to use the Maverick to give a backup temp for the meat (especially if I'm cooking 2 hunks), and to be able to see the temp in the house. Remote viewing the meat temp fits right into my "Lazy Q" lifestyle. 8)
