2 Octopus skimmers vs. 1 Octopus recirc for 400 gallons

The recirc OP NW200/3000 would run approx $389.00 and I'd still need to buy an additional pump. So, my question, what are your thoughts about buying 2 non-recirc skimmers assuming they will fit in the sump? That would be approx $425.00 for 2.

Yes, there are some out there already, but not from a US distributor.
