It looks like the LectraSan is a little less expensive than the composting system:

Can be used with 2 marine toilets. 
Both toilet and treatment cycle can be activated with a single push button.
Low power consumption.
Simple maintenance.
Model #PST1202 12volt. For inlet pump toilets. $732.40
Installation extra.
