If you go over to reef central they have a lot of info on both controllers. Personally I don't like either of them but it depends on what you want. I am holding out for a controller that answers the short falls of each. I do like that the RK unit measures actual salinity not conductivity then you need to consult a table to get salinity like the Apex. The Apex does seem to have a lot more control with the variable out puts for LED's and stuff like that.

Just my opinion when I did the research. Both have positive and negative and if I am spending $500+ on something I don't want it to have negative points.
