Calcium reactor - pinpoint vs apex

[lost66]

I got my calcium reactor used and it came with pinpoint controller.

I noticed it is loud when it opens co2 and sometimes it is loud for like 30 seconds. Buzzing sound. Since I run my tank with Apex I wonder if I can just use Apex to control co2? Is this pinpoint controller any better? Looks old, analog device. It is quite pricey, so I don't know, maybe it is super precise, and Apex doesn't give that precision or doesn't measure fast enough?
Beside the noise I have a feeling I have too much gear/cables in my cabinet.

I am thinking the simple solution to connect ph probe as a secondary probe to my apex classic and then based on the ph on/off outlet for valve.
How do you guys run your tanks?

For apex, you can run your probe to the reactor as is how mine is connected. Pinpoint will have more function.
Simply place pinpoint in a shoe box to lower noise
