Hypex or Exogal

One thing to consider here is that Exogal no longer has the application so you are stuck with the cheap plastic remote that nobody ever wanted to use. This is doubly bad because the tiny window on the Comet is very difficult to read. Without the application on an iPhone or iPad, which was wonderful, the Ion/Comet combo is an exercise in frustration.

Thank you both for the responses! I ended up ordering a exogal comet/ion. I have some nc400s still laying around here so I will be able to compare a bit. 
I have an Android and was able to download the app. I can let you know if it does actually work. 
I have been told they are working on a $100  remote option. 
I do hope exogal can keep moving forward, they are an exciting company and I appreciate them offering something innovative in a price range even I can afford. 

Again I appreciate you both taking the time to respond. 

Let me know how you are dealing with the remote issue. I have an Android and was unable to use the app.
