Pro:
* Concealed element means that cleaning is easier.
* Being a concealed element, does not require the element to be protected to prevent damage to the BIAB bag.
Con:
* Seems to require the boil-dry cut-out to be bypassed to ensure a good rolling boil. This is possibly due to the element not heating the wort directly, but the element heating the base of the urn then that in turn heating the wort.
* It would seem that bypassing the boil-dry cut-out increases the risk of the element burning out.
* More expensive (circa $275 for the cheapest I can find on the net), although price is not a huge consideration for me.
