Pros
The MPPT controller is more sophisticated and more expensive when compared with PWM controllers: it will adjust its input voltage to harvest the maximum power from the solar array and then transform this power to supply the varying voltage requirement of the battery plus load.
While it is a little higher priced than others, this is the model that is superior. It is made by a well known company in the industry and it comes with a lot of smart features like the ability to connect it to your devices by Bluetooth. Those who used it daily had no problems with it breaking or malfunctioning, and the output range is adjustable for the many devices that you may have.
Cons
The higher price for a MPPT controller is a bit higher, but is definitely worth it.
Final Verdict
Many solar chargers out there today are cheap knock offs of genuinely good products. This is a product that was made to be the best that there is, and it certainly does its job. So while you may spend a little bit more with this model than a different one, you are getting a solar charger from a brand that you can trust is going to last and not ruin your devices.
