If I recall, Cutlers 1588 package had a different number because it was the Genesis entire package - I'll have to go research it - it overall the best price, but my DH got me the whole package - turner, etc...if you dont need it all, I think GQF may be the best.
If you find out let me know, I'm looking for the cheapest 1588 ONLY, I want one as a HATCHER now - no more using an LG to kill my eggs in at day 18, 19 and 20 for those staggered hatches!
Ummm, yeah, about the Brinsea....cant quite get that third mortgage on my house to justify buying an incubator just yet??? For one that holds a comparable amount of eggs?
