Power Lab 8 or GT 1200
I have a PL 8 Charger that I have been using for a couple years. It has worked flawlessly. I do not use any of the Control Software with my PL-8 though.
I am looking to add a second charger. I can get a new PL-8, a Refurbished PL-8 or a new GT-1200. I feel any of these will take care of my needs for a long, long time.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

Unless you're thinking of going with the bump controller battery tag system, it's an easy choice, go with a GT series charger.
The only downside is that your PL8 may get jealous when it's bumped down to second choice
The menu navigation on a GT charger is much more user friendly

I believe the PL balance current capability is 1A, while the GT is 0.5A
There was a new PL8 shown at an event recently' it is a 'faceless' PL8; the BumpController is built in and becomes the interface and controller. While I am a fan of CCS for monitoring battery performance, the Bluetooth and tablet capability is far better IMHO.
