I think they are about 440 with orp & ph probes with calibration stuff... I found that after adding all the other stuff you need it is more than the lighthouse. Here is a good site to compare them all. http://aquariumcontrollers.com/files/controllers.html

i've got the RK2, i love it, except for the fact that i have to send it in to be fixed. the ph controllers are having issues. very easy to set up and very user friendly.

At least you will know the variance between temp at different time of the day. Very helpful.
