I look at it this way the price doesn't fizz me. money is money i make it i spend it.

MR fish55 yes its very clean and compact too and the tunzes after seeing it its very bulky and take alot of space up.

Just my opinion but I would go with the 40's if you are getting two, the 20's don't allow for wireless master/slave communication between the two.

It's not too bad if you think about how much money you can spend buying and scrapping lesser powerheads.

You can, eccotech sells un apgrade kit but they charge $150USD (~$190) per unit for the upgrade.

The cost differential between the MP20 and Mp40 new is about $140CDN so in the long run if you plan on upgrading they have you by the short and curlies. Just cheaper to buy the MP40 upfront IMO.

Good to know, I am debating switching out some of my k4's for tunzes, but now I'm gonna have to look at the MP40s
