I wanted to comment for all future readers. Here's the deets :
There are two price tiers with the TF100 and k2006 in one, and the TFpro and K2006-C in the other.
Both TF kits are better values and here's why:
The residential K2006 (no C....) has bottles that are about 2.7 times smaller than the TF100 (.75 oz VS 2 oz) and you'll blow through those in no time needing replacements. For similarly priced kits, it's a no brainer to buy the much bigger one.
The Commercial K2006 (with C) has less of the tests that you'll do more often (FC/CYA) and more of the ones you won't (CH/TA). You'll be replacing half the kit early while throwing out the other half when they expire. The TFpro has a nicer case (not that important) and includes a $48 stirring device (super important) along with the bottles sized to how we do things. For similarly priced kits it's another no brainer.
Either the TF100 or Pro can be purchased with a salt option that adds the $30 salt test kit for $20 more, making them even better deals than the 2006 and 2006C plus a salt kit added on with no discount.
Either the TF100 or Pro can be purchased with a 'SLAM' option which is great for newbs and those with swamps. Both will be testing more frequently for the first few weeks and may exhaust the regular supplies.
All TF kits are guaranteed fresh and the others may have sat on shelves for undisclosed times by the time you get them. This matters with products that expire. TFtestkits ship daily and customer service is quick to rectify any problems.
