I suggest you use the higher priced one, and have it
professionally installed.

: Following are some of the differences I've gleaned.
:
: Aprilaire 600:
: - Outdoor sensor.
: - Integrated bypass damper.
: - More tried-and-true?
: - More people seem to really like them. (?)

: Honeywell HE225/HE265:
: - Humidicalc+ software (no outdoor sensor). "Designed to
measure or
: infer outdoor temperature." "The first standalone humidistat to
control
: to dewpoint instead of relative humidity."
: - Damper not "integrated"? Does it matter?
: - Honeywell is "a partner of the American Lung Association®

: House® program that provides guidelines for constructing homes
with

: - AgION Humidifier Pads with anti-microbial coating. Apparently
these
