I don't have any direct experience with those but I believe the heating part isn't as precise as it really needs to be. I'm personally still just waiting for Digital Home Brew to release their next model, I think it's getting pretty close, they've been receiving parts for assembly I believe.. I do also have some DIY stuff (PC case fan, speed controller etc.,) I was thinking about throwing together..
 
Mine looks like that one without the PID.Basically, it's heat on or off and it can get get to a boil. I dont use the heater though. I wrap a heat belt round the bottom of the flask and plug it into my temp controller set at 23ish. The heater belt is much gentler which in my mind is easier on the yeast and to control temps without overshooting.
 
cheers! that one also says goes up to 1litre, could you still use it for a 3l flask? or would it be too small
