One of the things that's kept me from going full conical over the past five years is twiddling with temperature control coils. They look like a pain to clean and deal with. I thought jacketed options were too expensive, until I came across this bad boy today:

..and then I noticed Speidel has even cheaper jacketed option for non-conical fermenters:

Has anyone tried either of these? Spike and SS Brewtech get lots of love on this board, but I'm tempted by these options. I have no plans to do yeast harvesting or ferment under pressure. I just want something sanitary that's stainless steel and can do 10 gallon batches.
