I think of them as the low-budget version of the Hyperion 606i- basically the same spec though the Hyperion does have a few more features for sure, but then again its $55 vs ~$110.

Alot of US companies are selling re-branded chinese chargers for a massive markup ( see: venom chargers ), so if you want a truelly good brand then Hyperion or the iCharger are top-dog.

If you wanna buy a load of stuff from Hobbyking at once, then look at the various options; as I've said to alot of people lately, you can compare the various options for a week and not make a decision because you get torn between the top-quality $$$ option or the cheap and cheerful $ options.

I've been recommending the AC6 as its A) cheap B) does everything C) pretty simple/ idiot proof D) hobbypartz have good customer care apparently. Buy one, see how you like it, if it works well and you can test how accurately it charges & balances cells with a multimeter, then buy another for quicker charge times on both packs, or spend about the same amount on a single top-end charger knowing that it'll last a long time and can be updated ( firmware updates on hyperion chargers are an interesting point ).

Coin toss...
