There are lots of opinions out there on the DA products, but I'd say it's a decent unit for the price.
If that's the price range you are happy with, then either the RKL or just a Ranco temp controller would suit you fine.
I thought about both for months.
I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket in case of a controller failure causing a system-wide crash, but decided to buy one anyway.
With enough redundancy, and setting the PC4s to either 'on' or 'off', you can make it fairly safe.
For instance, I am setting my system to have both the Heaters and the Chiller 'on'
I bought a Ranco cheap and it's not connected to the RKL. It has heaters that are set just a little lower than the main ones.
