Has anyone used any of these? Like this:

I've seen that one for under $200. Seems like a nice setup for the money. The next one up has a place for a thermometer. Not as nice as the SS conicals, but seems like a decent in-between setup.

Thoughts?

If it were me and I was going to spend 200+ dollars I would keep saving and get a SS conical that will last forever.. pass it down to the kids, grand kids, etc.

I picked up the 8gal model here used for $80. It has sat in the corner of my brew room ever since! I haven't been able to figure out a way to control the temps on it, so until I do, there it will sit. I'm a stickler for temp control and if you are also, figure something out before you buy it.
