Ok, trying to decide which unit(s) to go with and hoping you guys can help with the decision.

Here's the one from www.top-off.com :
HiLo%20Deluxe%20Composite.jpg

It has 2 switches for top-off (both included in one of the blue drums) - one high (safety) and one low. The other blue drum is to keep the return pump from running dry. The whole thing also has an LED screen which "indicates Low Level/Filling, Level Within Limits, or Level Switch Malfunction. The indicating system is a digital electronic system contained in a resin block for both aesthetics and water resistance." The only thing that needs to be added is a PVC pipe to serve as a mount. This unit is $85.

And here's the one from www.autotopoff.com :

This one only has the 2 switches for top-off included. It already comes with the mount and you just fit it over the tank/sump rim and adjust the height. The price of it is only $50. The unit can be upgraded to be low voltage for an extra $10 and the return pump switch can be added for an extra $30. No LED screen available.

I've been recommended the second one before and I know some users here that own it. But I'm leaning towards the first one. Wanted some opinions and maybe someone has bought from www.top-off.com and can share the experience with the purchase and product. I've never used one of these (always manually top-off :) ) and I am also not that electronic savvy so I need the help. ;)

TIA
