Hova bator vs Zoomed Reptibator?

I had a hova bator, it is small and will only hold a clutch or two. Also the thermostats are tricky at times. I don't think the Reptibator holds many clutches either, but i have not used one personally.
It is extremely easy to build one, all you basically need is a box, I have a snapple refridge i use and heat with two zoo med uth heaters that I plug into a helix thermostat. it works great and can hold about 40 or so clutches.
I realize you may not need anything this large, but any insulated box, such as a cooler box, ect will work. Just be sure a use a Helix or other reputable thermostat.
I paid $100 for the fridge, $50.00 for two zoo-med heat pads, and $125.00 for the helix db-1000 thermostat.
