Maverick OT3 BBQ

I just ordered a Maverick OT3 BBQ thermometer. I have been relying on the guage on my WSM but my cooks have been pretty inconsistent. I wanted to start with a cheaper model. Any pros or cons to the Maverick unit?
 
My suggestion is to at least get a dual probe model.
Plenty of info on here as to which choice. I would spend more, because you don't want to
"upgrade" down the road and lose money at first.

This one was pretty cheap. I usually only cook ribs so I only probe them when they are getting close to done. I will invest in a two or more probe unit when I start doing bigger meats. I am using this one mainly to get an idea how far off the smoker guage is. Thanks for your input.
 
I use the Ivation dual-probe version. It has been flawless for me even though you could find posts where I also have iGrill and others (most of which deliver inconsistent results). I need to pack it's proprietary receiver as opposed to having an iPhone app but, regardless, it has performed flawlessly.
