PID(s)

I thought I had been told - perhaps I misunderstood - that the Dream had PID controllers on both boilers ala the GS/3. However, I noticed that the Factory setting menu's PID set up only has a place to configure one PID. Adding further fuel to my gut feel that there must only be one PID, I timed the steam boiler cycle today. While fully heated and at rest, the steam boiler cycles on for 7 seconds every 1:30. This is exactly the same as the original VI and VII. Then I asked Jason at CCS and he confirmed that only the coffee boiler is PID'd.
This doesn't seem like a big deal to me. It's always seemed to me that a PID'd steam boiler is overkill.
