Better Skimmer: Vertex Omega 180i or RLSS R8-I???

[ARVERLY]

They both cost $500.. Which one would you choose and why ?

It's for 75G (60x24x12)
40G sump
Heavy Bioload
SPS Dominated Tank
Barebottom
No refugium
GFO and GAC on bag


Thanks for your help!

I think the R8 will be too big. R6 might be a better fit. Just my opinion

The 180i is an excellent skimmer. No Noise, small sump footprint, superior material/quality. Made my Bubblemaster look like a cheap piece of junk.
