Default Thoughts on skimmers then

Seeing that I'm bored at work, and I know how everyone here loves polls & voicing their personal opinions. Let's do another one for my benefit.
As per the last one, I am soliciting opinions for my new tank system.
It is a 90 gallon internal overflow tank with a durso draining to a 30 gallon sump.The return pump will push approx. 700GPH
This will be a mid to high bioload tank, starting with LPS and fishes, but the goal will be a mixed reef system.
I presently have a brand new SWC 160 extreme Cone, so it will be part of the poll.
I would like to keep this around the 400.00 level so BK's and other high end skimmers are out of my budget.
Choices are:

1) Skimz SM161
