I've got several - they're fine, despite being cheaper than Habistat.

Only quibble I have with them is that the Habistat is easier to adjust; Microclimate needs a small or precision screwdriver to adjust - but that's a small problem - just keep a small screwdriver handy.

Ive got habistats and microclimate stats here and as bats said the microclimates a bit fiddly but it is cheaper theres very little difference in design otherwise and next to no difference in temp control so if your looking to save a few quid buy the microclimate
