This steam humidistat being recommend though is over $1,900 - therefore I would like to know other people's opinions / insight.

Is something like thisreally a benefit or does the builder grade Honeywell that has the water line work ok?

Currently I've held off saying yes as I want to learn more before making any additional expenditure.
Is it all engineered hardwood? I think engineered flooring is supposed to be really tolerant of humidity and moisture.
