Little Giant incubators

[ChickenKid11]

So I am planning on hatching some eggs in February and I was just wondering if the little Giant Incubators were worth it... I am hatching to show some birds at fair and need a fairly good hatch, but cant afford the octogon Brinsea incubator.... I just want to know you experiences with the little giant incubators.
Thanks!

I prefer the hovabator 1602 over the LG as the hovabator is slightly thicker and taller - the heater is further from the chicks if used to hatch. I do have several LGs though.
