Advice for first time purchaser of irrigation system and potentially Rachio

On PWS, I too have a 5n1. And have had some reliabilty issues with my connection ( not the fault of the unit) which @Gene has given me an alternate way to that looks more reliable. If I had to do it over I might go with http://www.ambientweather.com/amws2090.html. Only about $110 and looks like an easier integration. @Gene any thoughts here?
