It is a step above the Icarus in features as it has FET channels as well, however this host can't use them due to the McClicky, so 3.04 amps is max. The Icarus also has a copper contact, but otherwise they are basically the same except the Icarus is twice the price.
The benefits of an H17F over the Qlite is the full user programmability, bump protection, and the temperature sensor which regulates current to keep the driver below a certain set temperature (60C by default). Also, the moonlight mode can be made lower than a Qlite moonlight mode.
A note on reservations, I am capping them at 40 as I am primarily able to work on them this summer, and as such I want to make sure I get them done. Should I get them done prior to classes resuming in the fall, I may open a few slots back up.
