Have any of you ordered one of this company's products?

After doing the math on what it would cost to build a scaled down version of Kal's controller for the purposes of firing my 5500W HLT element with PID control, I decided to purchase this one instead for just under $400. I would have easily spent at least $400 building one with similar functionality, and the workmanship would be iffy at best!
Not much info is available, but it seems you can control one element via PID, and switch to the other element which is controlled with a proportional dial. The idea being that for your boil kettle, you really don't need a PID.
I'll post an update once I get it installed and use it for a brew.
