thanks mate.I think the EB1D is whorthwhile, because it will be more accurate because it is digital.
I won't bother with the stainer.
Get a bouncer they are super and there is a copy on amazon for about £12.
Better still buy a simple inline (solar) pump for recirculation and you could have a superb setup, as good as any stainless AIO used manually.
Lots of bang for your buck, and don't let anyone tell you stainless makes better beer

from what I can tell, the non D version is essentially a voltage variable dial that lets you turn up the power of the heat element.

I did BIAB for about two years in a very basic Peco (no temperature controller) and it worked really well. I used to get the mash temperature up to 72 degrees and by the time I’d mashed in I was at 65-66. I then covered the whole thing with a blanket and temperature held fine for the hour, even though I brew outside.
