Red sea skimmer and skimmer question

What do you guys think of the prizm skimmer by red sea?

I have a 55 gallon tank and there are two skimmers i want to buy. The first one is the prizm skimmer that is rated for up to 100 gallons and the second choice is the prizm pro skimmer that is rated up to 300 gallon aquarium.

Is a huge skimmer bad for a small tank like my 55 gallon because I really want the prizm pro but the tank is too small for what the prizm pro is recommended to.

Thanks

Go with the best you can buy. I think personally the Coralife Super Skimmers are better but I wouldn't worry about overskimming a tank.
