Now that they have brought back the TaylorSense, I am considering ordering a couple.
For those of you that have them, are they really worth the $50, or is it more a novelty "look what I can do" type of thing?
I keep my house around 50% RH year round..... Being in Georgia helps with that. :-)

My opinion is no, it brings nothing to the table so long as you monitor your RH, which you clearly have under control. Save the dough for something you can actually enjoy IMO. :)

Our house stays between 38-50% for indoor RH most of the year, according to the two hydrometers that I keep out and the one on the fancy new furnace thermostat. The lower numbers occur during winter heating season, and the higher ones during summer irrigation season. I regularly check on the physical condition of the wood instruments in the house when playing them. Watch for signs of dryness like sunken tops / sudden low action or fret sprout. Excess humidity is never an issue.
The only thing that the Taylor Sense would do for me is provide one more thing to needlessly obsess about. It takes a couple of weeks for humidity issues to appear, not minutes or hours. But hey, whatever floats your boat.....

I have the Taylor Sense and agree, if you are doing all the prudent things to control the environment, the $s are better spent elsewhere. :-)
