I do not know enough to offer an opinion, but looking forward to seeing how it goes. Like you said they both look nice.
From just glancing at the specifications they seem like they have similar capabilities but the 14AWG on the Hardin HD-234SS might be a better choice. However the Quick Melt Pro has more capacity and seems to get to temperature faster. ...I have to go with my original statement as I would need to do more research into which has the best controller and holds up better. --3D
