No point arguing who's the best here... The proof of the pudding is in the eating... Why not let actual users decide which is the best here?

Any great products are backed up by huge numbers of fans/followers, there is no need for you to be defensive if it is good...

My $0.02

It is just apples and oranges here. Replacement Bulbs? Different tubes for different .21 engines. By the time you buy the unit, a couple tubes and a replacement bulb your over $100.00, and then you still have to buy more bulbs over time. How long does a bulb last? How long does the fan last? How much testing was done on these units. Can they be dropped?

You mentioned that most racers do not wait 15 minutes. That is where you are ging wrong. We have been using these heater all year now, and racers put them on up to 20-30 mins ahead. If I am racing or pitting a main, I just plug the heater in and go, it could be 15-30 min, it does not matter. Pre-Heating is what it is, it is temp, not time. There are just some things you are missing here since you have not been doing real world tests.

Good Luck to ya!
