I also wanted increased flow potential so I could run them at lower speeds to keep the noise level down. I felt with MP10's I would have to crank them up to run them at the flow I was looking at.
And I agree, I did not get all wrapped up in the newer ES version of the VorTech line. I felt that Reef Crest mode is all I am going to need and I do not sync my MP60's on my 180gl SPS and simply let them run randomly. So having the older blue box controller on the MP20 was not a hang for me.
Anyway....a bit winded, but everyone's input was greatly appreciate.
BTW: for the record, I really like Tunze pumps and Tunze as a company. They all have their place in the hobby/industry IMHO. Tunze will make good on their latest issues like they made good when they converted to the Stream pump over the older square pump. Roger gave me two pumps for free, 6105 and a 6205, when the older generation Tunze went bad. So Roger is topself and I like Tunze as a company. Just felt better go with a low footprint in a small cube like mine with a EcoTech.

Good choice. If you ever feel like you need more (or want more flow options) it's only $100 per pump to upgrade those MP20s to MP40wES.
