I have 3 smokes under my belt, and I have both a Maverick ET-73 and NU Temp.
I've only used the NU Temp once, but had good luck with it.
I've used the Maverick ET-73 all 3 cooks and really like it.
If it were me, I'd go with the Maverick, but thats just one other opinion to help with your decision.
