MaxSpect Gyre Anyone get one yet? reviews?

I am thinking of getting the MaxSpect Gyre XF130 for my rimless 75G. I've had my eyes set on (2) Ecotech MP40's since the price drop but from the BRS videos and reviews I am thinking one Gyre XF130 paired with my APex can do a much better job at alternating flow if I set it in the normal position for a period of time then reverse position for a period of time.

Thoughts? Anyone make this purchase yet? Anyone switch from the Ecotechs and find it at least the same or better? I know there will be people that still say the EcoTech is the only way to go but I also think some of those people see price as, "you get what you pay for" Which I think is true in most cases but this product seems to be good or better on paper. $600 vs $239 is a big difference.

I currently run (2) Korilia 1400GPH power heads for reference and the sand is constantly not getting the correct flow to keep detritus suspended.

Thanks
