I'm share your opinion 100%. I had two MP40's in my 150 and picked up a 6105 just to compare, I was blown away. It wasn't just the flow, the build quality is clear right from the time you pull one out of the box. My first one was used but judging by the operation and look, you would think it was new (it had one year of use). I have since sold my two MP40's and replaced them with 6105/6055 and a 7096 controller, it doesn't have the eye candy that the Vortech does but I don't think the fish care about that anyway. What it does have is dead silent operation, the best quality and reliability in the biz (IMHO), and is more controllable than Vortech. When I dropped my first $500 on a Vortech I was pretty excited, it did do what it claimed, and looked pretty cool so I'm not trying to knock Vortech and I do think Ecotech is in for the long run, I just think Tunze is better. I wonder how many people have gotten rid of their Tunze pumps and replaced them with Vortech? Only problem is Tunze's don't sync via wireless with an LED light (whatever the hell that's supposed to do!).
