Mypins can easily be programmed to read in Fahrenheit, mine is.
That said, I'll be ordering my next set of components from Auber anyway.
IMHO the Auber is definitely a better operating rig but at around $46 +S&H I can't say mine does things any better than my $11 Rex. The Celsius only capability is not even an issue once you set it up with an easily made chart for our temperature ranges. The Mypin at around the $30 area isn't as good as the Auber and I could not get it to regulate my hot plate which the Auber does well and the Rex accomplishes but at a slightly higher swing of temperatures. Was about ± 1° F with the Auber and about ± 3° C (± 5.4° F). Certainly close enough for a hot plate and it does better than that on my lead pots, maybe around ± 2° C though I never recorded that latter figure on paper but that's about all it swings on numerous glances while casting.
Though I have both fleabay and Auber TC's I only suspect the Aubers are better because none of mine have failed thus far.
