Apera Ph Pen Testers "New GS" Series Line?

[dmpmfd]

I've started searching for a replacement to my Apera PH20 pen (possibly coming to EOL of sensor) and wanting to get one that the sensor can be replaced once worn out. I was leaning towards the PH60 series, but I found they have a "new to me" GS series which seems to be meant for growers as opposed to lab testing. From my quick searches so far it seems to be $10-20 cheaper to the PH60 series but was wondering if the community has ever tried/had one of the GS series testers and if so, how did it compare to your previous model(s)?

Got one around a year ago and love it. Replaced my ph60 because i wanted a combo ph/ec pen. Works great and easy to use and calibrate. It seems to take a little longer to read ph then my old one but not by a lot. The only real complaint I have is the ph60 came with a nice plastic case but the gro star just came in a cardboard box that will fall apart soon.

That sucks but it seems like they have since upgraded their packaging.
