The biggest catch with the Midnite Kid is that it derates above 25degC, so when things get hot, you're not going to get anywhere near 30A out of it. If you read the spec sheet it says, "Up to 30A amps battery output with low input voltage based off of PV configuration." In other words, the further your PV voltage gets from the battery voltage, the hotter the controller will get and the sooner it will current limit. I think there's been talk of adding a fan to it to keep it cooler. As with any product, research it thoroughly, ask questions, and understand what you're getting before you make your purchase.
Also, just because a company is well-known does not mean that its products are flawless. Often it just means that they have more money, better marketing, and a bigger fan base. Again, some research before you purchase may provide some balance.
