30A or 40A controller?
I’m going to mount 2 160w panels rated at 9.5 isc amps to feed 2 6v batteries…260ah. If I were to mount a 3rd panel I’m still under 30amps so a 30 amp controller should work fine….or should it. I’ve ...

I'm not sure I'm all that keen on having to rely on MSview and my laptop to monitor and adjust my solar system. A remote display seems much simpler and possibly more practical.
As someone else noted, the better part of having programmable setpoints is that once they are tailored to the correct values, there's no need to mess with them and all of the values are possible. The page you linked to above (pg45) of the manual depicts setpoints established by the jumpers on the controller. When using MSView and the wire interface, the jumpers are changed to allow variability. It's possible to set voltages, durations, and events like equalization within MSView.
Someday, I may be wealthy enough to have individual and a Master touch pad for all of the distribution system. Until then, I look at the Victron, sometimes press a button, and slog through my tedious days of RV'ing.:B Sometimes, just for relaxation, I flip a switch and watch the analog meter.
