After much more research and reaching out to a few members on the board I have decided to go with the Bubble Magus Curve 5 Elite. I was able to order it for around $202 with free shipping, and no tax. This seemed to be one of the best deals that i could find.
One thing that had me concerned was the recommended water level of 9.5 - 11" . I have seen multiple thread, and even talk to a fellow member here that they run their's at 7" as well. The footprint of the skimmer looks like it will fit my sump chamber just right as well. Thanks to everyone who replied back.
