I find your laziness comment a little rude. I wanted constructive critique of both methods of equipment control not judgment passed on advocates of either method.

I think at this point I'd totally buy a controller if I was convinced the unit as a whole was as bulletproof as the stand-alone components it was to replace. Nothing is 100% bulletproof but I want to get as close as reasonably possible.
It is not really rude, convenient=laziness please do try and really think just what convenience means...again i like the controllers, but again there are so many amazing tanks that don't use it. If you think you need one go ahead. But totm's run ranco's and timers...until a controller allows me to do something I CAN'T do without one, then to me it is a luxury than is more appearance than function. Yes if i had the money i would get one, but if asked i would be honest in saying it made my reefkeeping easier...less stuff i had to do manually---ie lazyiness
