Default Nano Tank - JBJ or Aquapod

I'm interested in setting up a 12g nano tank and am interested in either a JBJ Deluxe Nanocube or an Aquapod.

Does anyone have any feedback on either of these two set-ups?

Specs that I have located:
JBJ - 12 gallon glass, 2x24W CF and LED lighting, 106GPH flowrate, cooling fans and built-in 3 stage filtration
Aquapod - 12 gallon glass, 2x27W "SunPaq Lamps" and LED lighting, 160GPH flowrate, cooling fans, integrated filtration system.

I am "downgrading" to a 12 gallon from my 36 as I'm moving to a smaller location. I want mainly an invertebrate tank with a coral or two and a fish.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Some of the 12g Aquapods got recalled. See the thread that Willow posted for details. I have ordered a 24g Aquapod so we will see how it arrives and what the lighting situation is.

Be careful. The JBJ uses pretty crappy electrical components. The ballast they put in the 6 gallon is horrible (plastic case). Mine melted. Also look at what replacement parts are available. They don't have certain peices that you can replace so you have to order bigger peices. Like in my case. To fix the ballast with there parts I have to buy a new hood.
Just something to look out for.
