H&S A150-F2001 or ATI Bubble Master 200???

I'm thinking of getting a new skimmer. Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about either one of these? or point me in the direction of something better. I'd like to stay at the 6 to 7 hundred mark.

I'm leaning towards the H&S.

Never used the bubblemaster, have an H&S AF150-2001. Love it.

To be fair, I'm comparing it against an ER non recirc skimmer and and Aqua C skimmer.

Big benefit of the H&S (or any external, recirculating skimmer) is you can gravity feed it from the overflow. Best way to run a skimmer.

fliger,
I know you've talked about gravity feeding your skimmer before, how do you get past all the air or large bubbles that come down from the overflow?
