Default CPR skimmer or coralife skimmer?

Both are similar in price and gallon size. My problem is my custom sump is only 10x12 inches and I need 4.5x4.5 for the return pump. Both kinda fit if I play with placement, thankfully I haven't put my baffles in yet. Which do u recommend?

Both are Not my 1st choice of the skimmer but if i had to decide i would go with Coralife.
Why not get a larger sump and put something with at least 500-600 L/hr of air draw?

Is there a third choice

For good price and quality I'd go with a bubble magus

+1 on Titus's comments, I have a Bubble Magus that just replaced a Coral Life (still have two CLs running on two other tanks that will eventually get replaced). I would say they don't even compare,

Spend the extra 30 bucks and go with a nac3.5. It's a cone skimmer. You won't be disappointed. I Ran a nac on my last tank and it preformed great
