Honestly, for that sized tank, I would probably spend the extra money and get one of the ghost overflows from Synergy. Over the life of the system, I think it would be worth the extra money to be able to take it to the sink and clean it easily.
No, it isn't bad. It should work better than 90% of the other overflows out there! You are right. The price is compelling.
I have a 210 and am interested in running a herbie. Are you running the Herbie on the left and right overflows? How do you have your sump set up? Mine has the filter socks on the left side of sump. Will the Herbie on right side of tank still be efficient with the six foot run under the tank to the left side of the sump?Just speaking from my experiences --- An Herbie is easier to do on a Reef Ready tank. In fact, pretty sure a Bean won't work on a reef ready without some (( perhaps major )) modifications to the overflow(s).
I just reset up a RR 75, and plumbing the Herbie part took maybe an hour; including cutting the PVC and bonding them together.
Have had an Herbie on my 210 since December and still silent.
Herbie is silent... Here is a link to an old video of mine. I don't use the screen anymore, but it is the same.

I got a bean animal overflow, much like the ghost, for about $150 on ebay, that included the bulkheads and everything which was great, I only wish I got it 24" long instead of 16" for my 120. Other than that, no complaints, its quiet and reliable. Plus they look SUPER sleek, which is awesome. It sticks about an 1.5" into the tank which is hardly noticeable. Everyone reefer that comes and see's the tank comments on it and how they wish their overflow was that slim.
