I have had two Wellbrooks. They work about as well as the PixelSat but their materials and build quality are much inferior. Perhaps the plastic housing at the base of the loop survives well in a cool English garden but under the torrid tropical sun it crumbles away in just a few months.
The PixelSat, OTOH, is just about bomb proof. And customer service is superb.
