For me it was price, and what your getting for what your paying. Profilux may be an option in the future, but for $550 to try out a controller for the first time is a nice investment.

I am getting my hands on an older PLC for under $200, with that i can hook any probe or any output device (pump lights etc.) up and program them to do whaterver i want, it will also provide feedback to my computer and possibly i can do my own program to run my tanks,
if you are into electronics or wiring you could easily DIY with a few old industrial parts off of ebay.
