Which is better? I'm torn between the two, but can't really find much comparison. I like how apparently simple the istick is, but I like the possibility of being able to grow with the Xpro M80.

There were several issues with M80 concerning temperature control actually working and delayed firing, make sure you get the updated version that is suppose to fix the initial issues. Honestly, I would wait to see if there any updated reviews before purchasing the m80.
Yeah, that's true. The place I was looking at buying it from says theirs comes preloaded with V0000006(I don't know if it was actually that many zeroes) which is the newest update for it. I watched a couple reviews of it before and after the update, and I was pretty impressed with it. They say the temp control is still a bit off, but that really doesn't concern me much, as I don't intend to be building with nickel. I just really like the price point of it. 30 more watts than the iStick for about the same price is pretty good. I'll still wait a little while and see if anything new comes up in regards to the temp control.

The TC issue hasn't been fixed with this latest M80. The ramp-up time has been improved but it still will not control the temperature.
Having said that I have to agree with the general consensus, for the price the M80 is a cracking 80Watt mod.

Knowing what type of vapor you are is the key , if you like multi coil builds using low gauge wire more watts can certainly be beneficial but if you don't prefer that type of vape then don't get caught up into the false belief that more watts is better.
Knowing your preferences is key .

Well I went ahead and ordered it, against my better judgement. I'm not worried about the temperature control all that much; like I said, I just want a device I can use to really figure out what I like in a vape and that will allow me to grow into the kind of vaper I want to be, as I don't yet know what that is. I've purchased a Plume Veil clone, a bunch of kanthal, organic Japanese cotton, an ohm meter, a coil jig, and clippers in order to learn how to make coils. I have a rudimentary knowledge of Ohm's Law, I have the Steam Engine website bookmarked, as well as the app on my smartphone. I think I'm ready to get started.
