I agree with Midnight smoke. Although a warranty period typically isn't a good gauge w/re. to product quality, it's invaluable if something does happen. I would be more concerned with street time and the size of their user base. I don't know anyone using the PitmasterIQ, but I know a lot of folks who use Guru's - I have two. That's not saying that the PitmasterIQ won't work well for you, it just comes with additional risk.
