Rainbird Controllers

Are the controllers interchangeable? Right now I have a 6 station controller ESP-6SI and would like to upgrade it with a ESP-LX+ (which has 8 stations). My mother had her unit changed out because it was too hard for her to understand how to use the programs. Personally I like all the extra ways to set the time and configuration, so I was going to change it out with my controller.

The reason I am asking is it looks like the original has a power converter on the plug in. The other one is just a straight plug. So I am assuming my system is low voltage. (Aren't all sprinkler systems low voltage?) I can't figure out if the upgraded one does the voltage conversion inside the box. Is the difference because the old one is for inside use only, where the other one can be mounted outside?
