I stole it off ebay on a buy now, lol. 28 people were bidding and I was like uh no, for 400.00 you are saving around 500.00 in accessories alone, so just flat out bought it. The salinity probe alone is 119.

depend on what you going to use for.
if just for controlling the light or the temp. both will be the same.

I was in the same position last year and decided to buy the base RKL because it was only about $100. I have never regretted a decision more in my reefkeeping career.
dont get me wrong, the RKL is great. should have spent the extra $$ and at least gotten the next step up of RKL. buying the parts separately is ridiculously expensive.
apex has option for water detection which is the main reason i would go back and get the apex though.

I am in the market for a controller as well.
does it really a lot different when you only need it for controlling the lights and just the temperature in the tank?

If you want it simple go with the RKL. I have used one for the past 4 years with no issues at all. I almost bought an apex last week from two different reefers and decided to just KISS (Keep it simple stupid) and keep my RKL. When I upgrade and need more monitoring etc I will definitely get the apex.

I have had a Reef Keeper Elite(now in a box) and now have an Apex. Both do a good job at monitoring and controlling the tank. In the end though the customer service from Neptune Systems is great and they stand behind what they produce. Hope that helps you some.

Def helpful guys, but I ran out of $ stupid tuition has to be so much for, so for now I will have to use the best controller ever... the human controller lol.
