This thread is the closest I could find to what I'm looking for.
I'm trying to decide on two new powerheads. Debating between two Tunze Turbelle Stream 6080's or two VorTechs. There's a slight difference in price between the two . The Tunze would work just fine if I could hang them off the back wall but point them longitudinally (6' 135g). (I'd like to hide them in behind some LR). Every picture of these powerheads I see, however, shows them with the back of the PH along the hanging bracket....as if to imply that the only way to point them longitudinally is to hang them off a side wall. Many of us are familiar with the MaxiJet line. You know how there are multiple hanging configurations with those? As opposed to just one way? What up with the Tunze? Do they just hang one way only? If so, then I'm seriously considering forking out the extra cash and going with the Vortech for the simple reason that they are way less bulky inside the tank and I don't think I would mind them being out in the open so much. (ie: on a side wall, but in front of the LR. I'll have two corner overflows on this tank and plan to butt the LR right tight against that. Hence my desire to put the Tunze on the back wall).
Any advice and conveyance of experience on Tunze Turbelle Stream PH's would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx much and cheers,
