We have had chickens for several years now, but have always bought hatchlings. We are planning to try our hands with hatching eggs this year and need to buy an incubator. I have found two setups that I think will work for us and would like some opinions. Both have more than enough capacity and are similar in price.

From what I have read, lots of people really like the Hovabator so I am leaning towards that one. So my questions:
Are we better off with the Hovabator?
Do these kits include everything we will need?
Am I missing any others I should look at? I will likely be buying some relatively expensive eggs (Marans, mostly) so I want to buy a good system from the beginning. I don't want to waste eggs. On the other hand, I don't want to spend more than necessary. I did look at the Brinsea Eco, but when you add in the turner, it is quite a bit more expensive than the others (unless someone knows of a cheaper source).
The eBay prices look pretty good. Does anyone know of a cheaper place to get what we need?
Thanks!!!
