I have the Vertex Alpha 200 and have no complaint with it. Once it was dialled in it has been working flawlessly.

I have the Vertex 180 and feel it does a much better job than the BK 200 mini I previously used. And with BK, if the pump goes, you aren't going to be happy

Thing with the omegas is that i keep reading that its finicky and dependent on your water level not fluctuating. That being said, if skimmer is in middle chamber of sump, the water level should remain consistent due to baffles.
