Anyone try a PDM60 instead of a fuse block?

I'm about to do something to clean up my electrics a little (hooking stuff up directly to the battery gets old) and was thinking Fuzeblocks first, but then I spotted the more expensive but fully electronic PDM60.

Anyone tried this thing? It looks like a great option to get power around the bike and accessories.

Looks great how much?

I was about to order it but ordered the fuzeblock instead, I'm not too keen on a programable distribution block, I would rather just replace the fuse.

That's a downside, not cheap, twice what they want for a Fuzeblock, $199 at Revzilla.

I took a switch block for Honda adapted it and now have radio, lights, and lighter outlet wired there. Allows for manual control and independent fuses.

Lee on mind guys that the FuzeBlock (which I have bought) is great forest accessories it is limited to only haveing max of 10 amps per fuse it is not designed or built to handle higher amps eg a Stebel Nautalas horn requires a 20 amp fuse, hence I have kept it and my ign switch bypass headlight relay still wire to battery the Fuzeblock will handle things like after market heated grips, heated clothing outlets and even LED driving lights as long as they don't draw more than 10 amps
Which makes this PDM unit a good buy even at the higher cost,

It's expensive, but there are enough advantages to make it worthwhile. But for me the problem is I don't tender the battery and in my line of work being gone a few weeks at a time is normal. Don't want a dead battery every time I come home!

Well, this shouldn't draw power unless the key is on. Unless you program an circuit on it to be always-on on purpose.
