Prices should be about the same for you. Hydor stuff is made in Italy so it really depends on your exhange rate with the Euro.

After all the trouble I have heard about the nano streams. I will have to agree with
FW and let everyone else test them out.

I have heard there is a vibration problem because of the magnet mounts. Also the impeller shaft is coming loose.

Just an FYI, I've read that the new Koralia's have a magnetic/suction mount. I would assume that will cut down on the vibration.
But we all know what happens when we assume.
