Why is a PS234 better?

[CarlD]

I have the PS-233 and I can tell you that there are lots of small differences, like extra re-agent refills of stuff you use up. It also has the easiest to use directions, is in a well-designed flat case, and has a log for readings right on the top cover. Ben even includes a pencil and eraser. Yeah, that's a few pennies, but it's thoughtful.
He omits the two most useless tests on the planet that the others include: Acid Demand and Base Demand.

Can you get just as good a readings with the Taylor 2006? Sure! How about the Leslie's FAS-DPD full service kit? Sure!

But there's a lot you don't get, and some things you get you don't need in those kits.

They are fine kits, and make a good alternative to Ben's, better than most of the other alternatives. But Ben's is still the best equipped, best thought out, and best organized.

AGREED! Ben makes everything easy - by putting markers on where to fill bottles, by labeling the regaents in the order that you use them plus the number of drops, and with the directions on how to use them in one place. LOVE the kit.
AND you get this forum and it is easy to compare notes with Ben's test.
