This is right up there with which is better, iPhone or Blackberry maybe even Ford or Chevy! Will never have a consensus. One issue is how close is the measurement, using store bought hygro equipment maybe +/- 3-5%. I am running about 66 degrees/67% on the AcuRite and seems to work pretty well but don't have any CC's. I had a humi problem last year in TX and got down in the low 50% ranges for a week or so resulting in trashing my smokes . Somewhere in the 55-70% readings is probably acceptable but it is trial and error based on equipment accuracy, humidity consistancy, type of smoke and most of all personal taste. My 2 Cents!
