Ive looked at a few of the marketed controllers and can honestly say that I did not know they shared the same display unit. With that being said I would go with the 'Lite' over other model. If the owner didnt use Tunze pumps might as well save a few $. Thanks for the reply! Thanks for the clarification.

The pic above, the left is full controller and right is the lite version correct? How do you interface with the lite, must it be connected via Ethernet (would make sense for email alerts, but what if someone didn't care about that part)?
