RS180 pump specs:

# Power Consumption W/Air: 45w
# Air Intake: 900-960 lph
# Water Flow Through: 400 gph

BK Mini 180 specs:

# Power Consumption W/Air: 28w
# Air Intake: 1200 lph
# Water Flow Through: 525 gph

Whether or not you need that level of performance is based upon the actual demands of your tank's bioload. If your skimmer is filling up everyday and you're still having issues controlling the nutrient levels, a better skimmer is in order.
