Aqua Excel vs Bubble Magus

I am looking to get a small skimmer for my 40br. Due to my limited sump size I have narrowed it down to the following models:

Aqua Excel MINI Cone
http://www.fish-street.com/aqua_exce...ategory_id=130

Bubble Magus NAC-3+
http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?m...roducts_id=154

Bubble Magus NAC-3.5 Cone
http://www.tbaquatics.com/shop/bubbl...0909d9ddbcef64

To me the Aqua Excel looks the best but I haven't been able to find any reviews of it. Has anyone used an Aqua Excel before or delt with fish street customer support/shipping?
Also if I go with the Bubble Magus is the Cone worth the extra money over the standard model?

Thanks

It looks like the Aqua Excel is out fishstreet just got back to me and said that it is only available in 220v and I would rather not spend the money just to find out it doesnt work. Which is too bad because it looks like a great skimmer.

Right now I'm leaning toward the NAC3+ because of cost. Unless anyone thinks the cone is worth the extra money?
