Default boost controller

Does anyone here use the Electronic Dual Stage Boost controller that STS sells? If so how does it work and how do you like it?

I need to check, but I think the "electronic" boost controller they sell is really closer to a manual controller. Again I need to check tho.
A friend has one on his Dodge, works OK. It is not very solid and fluctuates somewhat. If it costs around $150 or so it's not truly electronic. A really good electronic model from HKS or the like runs around $300 but is worth the extra cash if you can afford it.
A fully electronic controller will maintain your boost levels much better and allow for on-the-fly adjustments, unlike the manual models where you gotta adjust the regulator.

Yes I know it's more of a manual. The only thing that's electronic is the the fact you can switch from two different settings of boost with a flip of a toggle switch. I wanted to know who was useing it and if it worked good. I decided to go with the E-boost anyways.
