Yeah the digitals make a big diff. My old dial style was about 10% off when sitting right next to my digital. I have the Exo terra one that I use in my RETF enclosure and the humidity is a little higher. I have a Flukers one that I use in my WTF enclosure. I actually really like that one cause it does temp and humidity. Amazon.com: Fluker's Digital Thermometer/Hygrometer: Pet Supplies
