Honestly, not much for function. BK skimmers are built really well, so for people that kick their skimmers a lot, it might be the way to go. Warranty stuff for them, last I heard, sucked. A lot.
Vertex Alpha are probably about the same class. SRO, lesser build quality, but I recommend not kicking skimmers anyway.

Ultimately, good pump with good warranty, plastic tube that gathers bubbles. Some have cool features, some are made out of heavier gauge, but most work kinda the same.
