Default Skimmer upgrade Question

Hi guys,
I am going to upgrade my skimmer this year ! Yeah!
I have narrowed my search down to either the tunze 220/3 or
the Aqua C remora pro w/mag 3. Does anybody own either of these and how well do they work? I think the aspect of the tunze not drawing the living plankton into the pump sounds nice, but it sits inside the tank taking up room.
Tha remora hangs on the back and takes up little space. I heard that you want to get an extra rubber for the cup as if ones breaks then the cup will just fall down and the skimmer won't work till you get one!
Any thoughts on this would be great for that amount of money I want to be sure!!

Oh yeah can anybody beat these prices (marine depot) tunze model 220/3 $236.12 and Aqua C remora w/mag 3 $226.95
I haven't really looked around but want to get the best price out there I hate that when you buy something one week and see it $50.00 less the next!
