I think everyone will have their favourites but i do not see these two brands in the same arena. When going into battle as a distributor with a skimmer you have to make sure the brand has something unique and different to offer, this is why we chose Skimz and Bubble Magus, one at the entry level end that does the job, the other offer high end capabilities and build quailty at an affordable price.
The SWC uses the same pump Bubble magus use for their economy brand in the smaller models where as Skimz are using pumps made by the same manufacturer of Eheim.
Although I have not personally measured it I am also told the acrylic is thicker and more polished in finish, I will take users word for that one happily. The comparison to Deltec quality has been made more than once and not by me but various times on Reef central independantly.
I am not being biased although you will of course see it as such, however I am not sure they both can be judged in the same arena due to the functionality that one offers over the other, especially when one uses cheaper (Chinese) pumps.
To save an epic Canreef battle lets just say we all have our favourites for our own reasons
