What is everyone using for reflow profile development?

I currently am using a Kic 2000 which is OK but the software's guesses on profile improvement are inaccurate and its difficult to compare two profiles to each other. The 7TC also limits how many complex features I can measure at a time. Some of our boards have upwards of 3-6 BGAs per side.

What other brands are there? mostly looking for improvements on the software side but if there are loggers with more TC channels that is a big bonus.

KIC offers newer models with more features and inputs for TCs, but their software is basically still the same.

Solderstar is another new option that you might look into. I don't know much about them, but it's an option.

Datapaq It looks like they are now part of Fluke instruments. They cover a lot of industries but at least used to have suitable software for us. It has been a while since I used one so ymmv.
