Apex vs Cerebra? vs Profilux

[es355lucille]

Thanks Brad.....I found your past thread very helpful and informative. But you know with electronics......is there updates/new stuff out etc.....I am looking to see if I am making the right choice right now.

I am glad to hear you are happy with the Apex. The added cost of the Profilux may not be worth it if I can do everything on the Apex. Any downside to the Apex that you have found? Do you use the software?

No downside that I've found yet, and software is actually built in to the web server. Which means I can connect with my laptop, ipad or phone, as it's all OS independent.
Took me about 2 minutes to get it connected to my LAN and connect from my laptop. another 2 minutes to configure my router to port forward, allowing access from the Internet.
Programing was a breeze, so far I've only need to ask about one syntax in the support forum.
I had a question for Kurt, the owner of Neptune, and he replied to me within 10 minutes on a Saturday night.
Overall, very impressed with the product, and it saved me over 600 bucks vs a comparable Profilux setup.

I have an APEX, an RKE and a RKL...they're all capable of performing the same functions and all have possitives and negatives.

No Proflux yet, but I may buy a P-three just to try it out...I just have a hard time justifying the expense as it is three times the $$$ to do the same things, and as any electronics go, It will be obselete just as quick as all the others.

APEX > custom progaming.
RKE > simple programing.
Proflux > mucho more $$$
Cerebra > Looks shiney...not available...yet.

Thanks for your comments cale262. I wish I knew what price the Cerebra is coming into the market at. Looks kinda cool.

Thanks Bblinks! its sure nice to have customer support for all of our equipment. Glad the Apex guys are supporting their product well...this seems to be a common factor I have noted with Apex....its a positive note that goes a long way.
