started my new job today  and it pays GREAT but the hours are long and work every other weekend  so now i have the $ to get the incubator i WANT so? is what is out there
with $ out of the question i need it to be EASY TO use and self maintain as much as possible wife will be watching it
does not have to hole a crap load of eggs but need to be able to hold at least 300 quail and some chicken

here are the ones i know about
1 gqf sporteman  i like the digital command center on it would be easy for wife to adjust temp
2 dickey 
3 Brinsea  i like the auto humidity and digital temp wife could do it all and just have to keep water in the bucket

 I have a GQF cabinet incubator, in which I also use as the hatcher.  Automatic waterer is a must. After using those user-unfriendly styrofoam incubators, I can go on vacation while eggs are incubating with this thing. Practically requires no attention during incubation.
  I have read where others have issues with the Sportsman incubators when incubating multiple batches, as the entire incubator requires raising the humidity levels during hatching.  Your best bet would be to have a incubator and a seperate hatcher.
  I don't have any experience with any others......so that's my .50 cents. (inflation)   :grin:
