Have a look at Stimpy's DIY Adjustable Fan speed controller with thermostat (https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/showthread.php?54361). That should do the job for less outlay than either of those.

You'd only need the dimmer for the intake mate.

Whats the power rating on your fans mate ?

You could easily add another dimmer and fan to that set up, you'd just need an extra terminal in the JB.

Just make sure the total power of the fans is not more than 3KW, I doubt it will be but you should check.
