While it looks good for the kit, it is sometimes a bear to assemble all or the other parts needed. I am so far from decent supply places that I would have to mail order most, if not all of the other parts required. Savings would be minimal. A better compromise would be a full kit with all needed parts. the $24.95 kit is a partial kit, and I won't get involved with that type of kit nowadays.
The NHRC-2 is also available as a partial kit. May be a few others out there as well. OTOH, one can buy assembled and tested controllers from about $89.95 and up. I have an ICS Basic, good controller with few frills, and not too difficult to connect and set up. the NHRC-2 is also good, and as easy to set up. I only suggest kits if you are very good at assembling and have parts readily available at reasonably low cost.
