Has anybody used any heaters from brands other than Ebo Jager or Visi-therm? (I haven't, which is why I am asking)
What are your thoughts on these other brands? Would you recommend them over the Jagers or the Visitherms?
I'm personally looking for feedback on these brands/models:

^I personally consider that brand a cheap brand, but I've only used some of their products. But, for the price, I'd be willing to give them a try. But I can't find any reviews online for them...

^I'm not sure I'd personally want to even be in the same room with a Won Glass heater...that cheap price (and cheap brand name) scare me... Nevertheless, anybody use them?
Deep Blue Quartz Heaters

^From my understanding they are a very popular aquaria-lighting company, and the price looks good.
I'm leaning towards one of the two titanium ones I mentioned; I need new heaters for my 265g and my visitherm stealths (3 heaters, 600watts total) did a pretty horrible job keeping the tank warm (I blame inaccurate/uncalibrated built in thermostats).
Anybody keep any of those brand heaters? Have any bad experiences with them? Or are some of them very well built and worth getting?
