You pretty much have it spelled out, I'm not sure what you mean by "Lots of wires to connect multiple pumps and controller" for tunzes. As far as I know each vortech requires it's own controller but each controller can communicate with each other without an interconnect cable while tunzes just all plug into one controller. If anything I think you'll have more wires and stuff with the vortechs.
Lots of threads like this already but I run Tunze, I have two 6105s and two 6100s. I run the tunzes purely because they are quite, MP40s would be louder than any other piece of equipment I have.

Directionality and quietness were the two factors that made me decided to go the tunze (6105) route.
They are both great power heads that do the job, although slightly differently.

I've had terrible luck with the reliability and noise level with the Vortechs. I sold them all at one point and was about to purchase the Tunze. Just couldn't do it. So bought 3 new Vortechs. IMO the Tunzes are big and ugly compared to the Vortechs. Plus hate the look of any wires in my tank. I haven't any bad habits anymore so if I have to buy replacement parts every so often than so be it.

vortech is my vote, they take up less space in the tank and no wires going into the tank is also nice, especially when you want make mesh top for the tank.
all my mp40 runs very well.
