Take it fwiw, but I beg to differ. Now there are two great HOB skimmers - Deltec MCE600 and the new ATB Cone HOB skimmer utilizing a hagen PH with enlarged volute and meshwheel.
I also have to disagree with the Berlin, I find it's performance to be less than mediocre. With today's newer venturi designs(beckets, elos and schuran come to mind) and the advent of NW's & Meshwheels and their improvement... it's difficult to recomment such an outdated design. If you're looking at that price point, the Aqua-Medic Turbofloater is a much better performer and widely available.
With that said, PM makes extremely high quality products. Their Bullet line is one of, if not the best becket designs out there only rivaled by Barr/Austin Oceans. Is it better than ETSS? tough to say, but i would say both are on par in terms of performance.
This is just our opinion and based on our experience....if you cant tell by now, we're equipment junkies
