Can't argue with that. I do see one benefit with CHE's - he can have two fixtures in the cage; one with a 60 watt CHE and one with a 30 watt (or whatever). This way he can get a nice gradient with the one temperature controller, kind of like having an RHP with 1/2 of it at one wattage and 1/2 at the other. Plus, with two fixtures he can cover a large cage. In Summer he can remove one of the bulbs. Not a bad setup. I did that with a boa, and I found it very effective and tweakable for different conditions, ambient temps, etc.
