I have a gyre, and it has been good to me.  I picked up the apex adapter module (icecap) when that came out a few months back and it really increased the versatility, now I have 8 flow patterns running at different times.  The gen 2, is very quiet, but I only run at 60% tops otherwise the xf 150 model is way too much flow on my 100 gal display.  I also picked up a small battery back up (ice cap again) that works with the gyre and during a power loss will run it at 30% for 36 hours (I think that's  the stats) 
 
Cleaning can be tricky, I have only done it once, but had to take it apart again several times until I got it right. 
 
Brad, you need to add the Gyre to the poll instead of just having it under "other"!
