difference between msx and swc

i thought that i had my skimmer picked out but was wondering if any one can tell me what the difference is between the msx250 and the swc250 besides the price?

is one better than the other? they both use the same pumps. is it just a preference on color?

any help would be great. also would like to hear from anyone that has an swc. thanks

yeah that is were i was going to get it and i was going to get it with the 1" port and askoll. but i really like the looks of the white swc it just seems crafted better. machine engraved lid, and i really like the white. i need to see if you can get the swc ready to run with the 1" port and askoll. if anyone knows feel free to chime in.

Same other than price and colour. I have the swc 250 and it's great, you can contact salt water connection and see if they can port it for you.
