I'm thinking no.
There is no way I'd spend 5x the amount I need to now. I've had the wp40s in the tank for several weeks, hooked through my profilux running various setting, and I can say that these do everything that my tunze or mp40s did(yes I did in fact own both at one point).
Even if, and it's a "if" right now, because we don't know how long these could/ will last. I can buy a new, hell several new wp's to replace the ones I have now and still be ahead.
The fact that the "big players" are now finding excuses for lowering their pricing, just proves how expensive they were to begin with. A strong reduction in material costs?? Please.....
Just my 2cents

Surprised no one attempted to make really cheap wavemakers that perform like Vortechs. The cost of the Vortechs are only maybe $10 ( less the tooling of course & R&D, Marketing); can't blame them for going to the high end and making lotsa money..they are also doing it with their Radions in terms of high pricing. They do have the patent to locate the mechanism outside the tank so naturally Jebao makes something like the appearance of a Tunze powerhead with the guts inside the tank.

Anyone still using sea swirls and eductors and such nozzles?

Vortechs are wireless and take up far less real estate than even these new cheapies do...

They also have brand recognition.

Just sayin...

I am interested in getting one on a GVRD group buy for sure... when will the order go in? When does the payment have to be recieved?

And can you someone just confirm that this is a deal for $65 for the powerhead as well as the controller to adjust the wave intensity.


Thanks
