A multi stage thermostat is used only in large systems.  Almost invariably 
commercial systems, where there is more than one compressor utilized.  There 
are very few homes that require multi stage 'stats.  

Actually, IMO, virtually no applications should require a digital 'stat, 
either.  A heat pump works best when you find the temperature that suits you 
best, set it there, and don't touch it again.
