Alternate FS2020/X-Plane Autopilots - Elgato Stream Deck Plus vs Octavi IFR1

A couple years ago, I purchased an Elgato Steam Deck Plus to run as an autopilot.


At the same time, I downloaded a "free" profile from a source I can no longer find.  And it worked!

Problem is, a few months later, I mucked around with my simulator's configuration - and then it didn't work.  So, in frustration, I put it away.

In the meantime, I stumbled onto another option; the Octavi IFR-1.  And now, I'm reviewing the situation.


Looks kind of interesting and best of all, it's "setup" right out of the box.

Last week I took out the Stream Deck Plus thinking I might sell it.  Then I thought; should I try again?  I mean, they both get the job done.  

Your thoughts?
