I think that what Doax has done is "Beta Testing" and designing improvements to the system.

That setup has changed quite a bit since he got his.

I helped an installing another kit later (with Eric Powers) and Eric was surprised to see changes in the kit that he hadn't heard about yet when we opened it up.

As the most affordable/newest system out there, I think it's a great system for tinkerers and people who like to see what's going on.

I would definately agree about talking to somebody who has gotten the most recent version and see how they like it.

Under ideal circumstances, the point of the system is that you just plug it in when you get home, and unplug it before you leave. It shouldn't require any advanced knowledge or experience.
