Aquasurf vs. 7095 multicontroller

Whats the advantages of having the Aquasurf? Trying to decide which one I should use.I did a search and found quite a few threads but not 100% sure which one to choose. Is the only difference the wave making capabilities?

Anyone that has used both? Which one did you like better?

It seems like the muticontroller would be alot more user friendly by the display. But seeing as I have not setup my AC3 yet,Im still a bit skeptical If I will be able to figure out how to enter all the code required to get it working. Is the Aquasurf hard to figure out as well? Its a little overwhelming for the non-computer guy like myself.

I've had both...(still have the aquasurf)...

The aquasurf is much more customizable in terms of what you want to do (ability to program different flow programs at different times of day, etc).

I would say a large factor depends on how much you will have hooked into your ac3...if a lot go for the aquasurf... haveing all the control via the control center (my pc) is well worth it.

with the AquaSurf, you can access it via web browser or AquaNotes even from a remote location. It's got virtually unlimeted programming capability and you can have cycles down to 1/10 of a second.
