Turboflotor 1000 vs. Octopus NW-200

Since reading excellent reviews from Aqua-Medic turboflotor skimmers I'm considering them over Octopus. I've read that some guy uses a T-1000 on a 125 SPS and another guy uses one on a 180 SPS.

So, for a 75 gallon SPS tank which should I go with:

Aqua-Medic Turboflotor 1000 ($150) or Octopus NW-200 ($200)?

Octo, no comparison imo even stock. And you can get it for 180 at www.marinesolutionsinc.com

I would go with the octo. I have a t-1000 running on my 120(primarily sps) and it works ok but I would be scared to increase my bio load too much. Just not the most efficient thing out there. I have been wanting to replace it for some time just trying to get the funds for something much better.
