| After experimenting with the RE-8500 i must say it is a impressive device. It works very quick and is much more controllable then the RE-7500. The upper heater is on temperature very fast and now it is possible to control the tbl perfectly.
The new software is feeling a bit strange. I think i have to get used to it. I never used profiles and now i have to. The manual control of the software is not so good as from the RE-7500.
I am struggling with the temperature sensors. Sometimes they do not stick to the board and the wires are very stiff. However the sensor of the RE-7500 was easy to work with, this sensors are much more accurate. I think i have to get used to this kind of sensor.
The only disadvantage is the way you move the upper heater. Now you have to use two hands to swing it over. It also is not clear to me what is the correct height adjust. It has no scale.
Overall (until now) i think the RE-8500 is a big improvement. It has more power, more surface and powercontrolled heaters.
This evening i am doing the first PS3 on the new Jovy. The xbox360 went very well. |
