Is hydro really that much better than soil?

I kept getting fungas gnats, I hate fungas gnats . Actually I move outdoors and grow in living soil in the summer months but prefer my hydro weed more......call me crazy lol.

If I could figure out the secret to 80 degree Res temps I could probably stay indoors .

I'm new to DWC, only ben doing it for about two weeks but honestly I am loving the shit out of it so far. It really depends on a few things:
-can you perform daily checkups on your system, maybe even multiple times a day at the start?
-do you want to learn? there's a lot to hydro than meets the eye.
-do you care about those two weeks being shaved off of the veg phase for the extra work you put in?

I can honestly say that it's been extremely fun watching those roots explode with growth. Also the growth rate of the plant itself is astonishing, I'm not even in the veg phase yet! Although I have had some problems with the pH and that staled the grow a little bit, but I hope I'm right on track.
