i agree the price is a bit steep for something thats just about the same power as a 20 and not upgradable to a 40 but for a nano tank the size of these things is just to much.
Well I just think since the price difference is not going to be huge between the new 10 and the 20, you may as well get the 20 incase you ever do upgrade or for when your corals grow in and you need more flow. A 20 for a nano is big but they can just be turned down (as you know).

I was disappointed to see the price to be honest. When I heard about them a long time ago, the rumor was that they would be under $200 and that would be the appeal. And of course in Canada, you get screwed over even more not just by exchange but just always a higher price.

Just my opinion though from years of buying equipment that isn't upgradable. From now on, I will always buy bigger unless the price is a lot more...especially if the equipment can be scaled back like Vortechs can.
