Atman 2500 
 IMO the Sicci 2500 has always had start up issues due to the fact that mesh wheel would push so much air that when you stop the pump it would cavitate.  From My Own experience. and issues.  I used to own a Bubble master 250  thought this skimmer is amazing  and it was until i start having problems with the pumps.

 Eheim - too expensive for a skimmer pump
Atman - great pump but we want to go with a euro flavour
Sicce - You are right and that is why I stated at the start we would not be using the old generation in fact they are no longer made. The New line is PSK600 PSK1000 and PSK1200
we are hoping to kit the Skimz leopard with the sicce 1200 depending on power. The Askoll puts the skimmer out of price point current expectations.
