Default AquaC Ev120 or EV180 (?)

Am on verge of ordering skimmer for new tank. (120 gal)

Need help on making decision between the AquaC EV-120 (rated for 40-150 gal tank) or the AquaC EV-180 (60-200 gal tank).

Is extra $$ expense worth increase in skimmer effeicieny? Or will the EV 120 do just fine for tank size I am getting (also plan for 30 gal sump - (refugium later)

AquaC EV series Protein Skimmers - http://www.marinedepot.com/a_ps_ac_info.asp

There are long term power consumption factors to consider also. Not to mention larger size and larger pump reguirements.

My current inclination is to get the EV120 and use the saved $ to get a "Ozoner" to go with it (Aquazon 50 - $143 - Marine Depot) -

Red Sea Aquazone "Ozoner" - http://www.marinedepot.com/a_uvozone_rs.asp?CartId=

note: "Ozoner" port option must be taken at time of purchase with AquaC skimmer.

Thoughts from any AquaC users? (I love the way my current "remora" is working on my 55 gal.)

THX

Rgds,
