Nahh -- I'm jealous in an inspired sense
I feel that I will definitely end up going with the Tek's when the time comes. Despite the price being really painful, I can wait until I can afford it. Since setting up my tank, my mantra has been "do it right the first time." This is something I didn't do from the get go and while the PCF's work for most of my tanks, the direction I'd like my tank to go needs the next step up. So hopefully in time, I'll get there!
Again, thanks for the honest and clear input.
And keep us posted on your tank!!!
