Default Vortech MP20 or Hydor Wavemaker?

I currently have the "Natural Wave Timer" with 2 modded Maxi-jets. Its an okay setup, but dont like the "direct" flow of the Maxi-jets, even with the mods I have done to them. I also do not care for the look/size of them much.

I am considering either the Vortech MP20 (when it comes out), or the Hydor 2-way wave maker with Koralia 2's.

I am leaning towards the Vortech, but am concerned how my overflow will react to the more natural wave motion of the water. I also do not know if I want my water level going up and down as drastically as the videos I see of the vortechs on youtube.

If you were going to chose one or the other, which would it be?

Me myself would go with the vortech,maybe because i have one They don't make huge waves if you have them not to close to the top.Also they are so adjustable,i luv mine.My sps lps and softies are all very happy,mind you i have only a 4 foot tank,seems perfect for me.
