these guys have taken their time on this

I as well would like to see the short pulse mode as well as know what ecotech has in store to support legevity of their products. I.E. make them serviceable by hobbiests or sent back to the manufacturer to get new bearings etc. put inside.

Honestly after installing the maxspec Gyre I don't think I'll have another vortex in my tank for a while it's that good

Looks like the controller is $100 USD. This benefits mp10 and 60 owners but I think other aspects of the mp40 are dated enough to benefit from new dry and wet sides too.

The gyre is cool there's no doubt. But for how my tank is setup and scaped I love my vortechs.

The MP10QD upgrade is now available in Canada and is going for $75-90. Thanks Canuck Buck

I broke down today and bought an MP10wQD
I'll replace one of my ES units on the DT and put the ES on my QT/Frag tank for now

I won't be doing the switch tonight but hope when I do I am impressed

Anyone else feel like this might be orchestrated?

Must be nice to develop a product with some well known shortcomings and then release an upgrade to fix it for top dollar...

It's always good if you can get your customers to pay for the same product twice.
