Welcome from Alberta, Canada!
My first humi was that exact same one. It was a good humi and when my wife bought me a 500 count for x'mas last year, I passed it along to a good friend of mine who enjoys cigars too and didn't own one yet.
Definitely lose the analog hygrometer. Mine never worked properly. The one that came with the 500 count didn't work either so I purchased, and have been VERY pleased with, the Calibre III hygrometer:

FWIW, I bought a Xikar (Madelaine) brand, round hygrometer and it's never worked right either. The temperature is bang on but with 24 hours of calibrating it, it starts losing it on the RH. I have it in my humi along with a Calibre III and it drops about 1% a week (but hey, it still shows the correct temp........LOL) so I'll never buy another one of those.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
