Growing hydro!

Hello all, new here, and ive been growing 2 plants outside for a few months, and im not happy with the way they've turned out, I have space to start indoor growing, and to my knowledge hydro is the most efficient. I've seen multiple aerogarden threads, and im thikning of buying one, thing is, id rather not spend 150, but I just might. Is the 100$ version sufficient and does anyone have it/have experience with it? thanks

AeroGarden 3 (black) w/Gourmet Herb Seed Kit by AeroGrow

This is the version im talking about, is it worth 50 more bucks to get the other version

don't buy an aerogarden!!!! Too small, not enough light to make anywhere near the results you want. IMO a total waste of money for weed growing.

Im on the same boat, if not an aero, what else?
