After reading all the posts and debating between the pitminder and digiqII I ended up ordering the Pitminder. I just purchased another ET-73 (this is the third one) and figured I wouldnt use or need the extras on the Digiq. The only nice feature I would have liked was the automatic shutoff when you lift the lid, and Im not certain just how automatic that is. Anyways, I hope Im not disappointed. Thanks to everyone for all the great info about the products in all the other posts.
