help me pick a controller

Alright guys. Stumbled across some money and want to buy myself a REASONABLE aquarium controller. The only features I care about are being able to independently control, heater, fans, and lights with temperature.

Lets say I want my heater to come on at 77 and go off at 78. Then I want my fans to come on at 79 and go off at 78.
Last thing I want is to be able to shut down my MH lights if temperature in the tank exceeds 84.

I realize that a lot of controllers have additional features but am not too worried about those. I just need a controller that can control 3 separate circuits vs. temperature. I looked briefly at the Aquacontroller Jr since it is in my price range but am not sure if it will do what I want. Thanks
