I would get the ER anyday. The EV can be very finicky to tune in.

I'd get the Euro-reef. My RS-80 honestly used to be pretty loud, but it's quieted down a ton, and now I barely hear it. It's easy to tune, and doesn't draw that much wattage. The AquaC is finickier, draws more wattage, and is louder than the ER.

I went with ER several years ago due to the reasons trmiv mentioned and have been happy with my choice.

You will be happier with the EuroReef.

I really love my ER80 and I own an RS100. So i have two sedra3500 pumps from ER. Both are loud. You will want to get suction cups to place under the pump or a silicon pad. You can also build an air silencer to help quite down the air intake. A little effort goes a long way to quieting these things down. But compared to my Turboflotor 1000 that it replaced, it is loud.
