16.02.25 A small update regarding my future build, seems that Option B is out of the question as I'm not willing to risk paying the tariffs that could change any moment now in the USA, so I'll be sticking with the cheap Chinese heating plates and controllers, so option A and C are the ones im going for. Option C I'll be doing in the next 4 to 6 weeks in time with my Candy Cream harvest. Option A will take a while as I'm still looking around.
