How many vortechs or tunzes have you heard, putting stray current into the tank?......and magnum 8s are the size of a football!

it really depends on what your specific need are......vortechs are great for the broad flow, undertow, cool programs, sheer power and easy of adjustment.....the one drawback of them is you cant point them.....

tunzes dont quite have all those other features but the big draw is that you can point them where you need to and you get more mounting options(can mount one to an internal overflow if you want)

someone should really find a way to combine the two.....I personally use both
