Home Depot has a "Rite-Temp"
LOWES has a "Hunter-Energy Star"
Both in the same price range.

Has anyone had any experience with either unit

Installed a Hunter from Lowes last month. Seems to do the job.
Easy enough to install. Not thrilled it needs 2 AA batts. Hunter
claims they last a year. (So change them same time as smoke alarms
??) Using the default 60/68 deg program right now. Seems to hold
the house temp more constant at either temp than the old Honeywell
round mechanical unit did.

some units let you adjust the operating range. you can set it for a tighter
control (heater goes on and off more often for shorter periods of time) or
visa versa.
