The benefit of this is that the thermostat is on one end, and the heater coil is on the other. This way the thermostat can take a more factual reading of the surrounding water, without being affected by water heated by the heater. When you stand the heater up vertically, the thermostat is directly above the heater coil, and can be affected by heated water as it rises up (because the warmer water will rise...) pass the thermostat. I've never understood how these things can work with the thermostat right next to the heater. My first 15 years in the hobby, there were only separate units. I would think the heat would trigger the thermostat right away, before the water got heated. Evidently somebody just figured out that it works, no matter what I think. Cliff
