This is far cheaper - Snow Stage 2 with the larger tank and upgraded solenoid was $505 with local tax (bought it locally!). The Aquamist nozzle, the one needed in order for mS to control it, is $255 alone... and I still have to add $60 for a tank, $100 in fittings and nozzles, lines, and about $150 for a pump. Then, I have to figure out how to control it.
It's simple with the stage 2 kit. I set the "on" psi and the "max" psi and it controls it between those two points smoothly.
