My reason for going electronic is that I'm using an Li Fe battery:

which was quite expensive and is easily damaged/destroyed by over charging.
Despite many, many adjustments I have found that the mechanical regulators are just too inaccurate and the output voltage varies substantially with temperature.
The electronic regulators have an absolute maximum output of 14.2 VDC which happens to be exactly the maximum that the Li Fe batteries can handle.
