Default Eco Plus 1/10 vs Teco 1/8

Hi,

I'm reasearching to buy a chiller for the upcoming summer. I have a 60g cube with sump, vertex in 100, 250w DE Phoenix with 4 t5's that are suspended about 7 inches above the water and 2 vortechs (1 mp20 and 1 mp10). The major factor for heat is obviously the 250w phoenix and ambient air temp as I'm facing west with a lot of windows.

Anyway I would love to buy the Ecoplus 1/10hp since it's only $420 or so and it has a small foot print. If anybody has used this can you tell me how quiet it was and how effective it was? my Major concern is noise, effectiveness on a 60g and reliability!

My other option is a Teco 1/8th. I hear it's super quiet and efficient but at $750 it's rather expensive! Anybody have experience with this unit? Is it worth the extra money to get this over the eco plus. another down side to this unit is the foot print is much larger.

Thanks!
