Does Anyone Have the New 3 or 4" Icecap Fans

... how do you like them, are they quiet? The ones I have now sound like jet engines when they turn on.

How new, and are they supposed to be any different than the ones they've always made?

I have two 4" fans in my canopy, one on either side. They aren't loud, but not exactly quiet either. Not any more quiet than the old fans I used to use. I do like the variable speed feature on the IceCaps.
I've heard the Vantech Stealth fans are really quiet, but I don't know how rugged or long lived they would be.
Ice Cap makes their fans with our aquariums in mind, so they're supposed to be ideal for the conditions.
I have no experiece with the Vantechs, but may give 'em a shot someday.
