I went from a Remora Pro to an MCE600 (which has now been replaced by an in-sump RS80) ...

For me, the Deltec was a much, much, much better performer (the walls of the collection cup accumulated a lot of crud though ... so it has to be cleaned frequently; also it was much more sensitive to certain types of food in the tank so I found it necessary to shutdown while feeding) than the Remora Pro.

After having heard so many positive Deltec testimonials, I had expected "more" out of the Deltec ... but perhaps I was unrealistic ... it doesn't perform miracles, but it will certainly out-perform the Remora Pro.

Aside from better performance, the Deltec was generally quieter, smaller in-tank footprint, easier to maintain (other than cleaning the collection cup), and the Remora Pro also had a large O-ring for the collection cup that needed to be replaced every now and then (it kept cracking).
