Ditto. I've got one and it's just brilliant, it even has a magnetic thermometer to attach to packs when charging! The menus are a little confusing but I'm getting used to it, after about a month I've only just worked out how to set the cutout temperature (I was convinced it wasn't possible til I pressed the "wrong" button one day!)

I particularly like the fact that I can do charging/discharging and cycling on single cells! - So I can check out their performance before soldering into packs! It also has stepped charging, i.e. 5.5amp up to 2000mah then 4.5amp up to 3000mah then topup at 3.5amp or "megaflex" charging whereby it does short pulsed discharges while charging which apparently removes bubbles of gas in the battery caused by the charging process.

My only complaint is that I would like the alarm when it completes, but to have the alarm on you have to have it beep whenever you press a key and that is really grating!
