I am looking at different power heads for my tank . It's 42L x 32 wide x 24 tall. I am thinking either eco tech mp 40 or the maxspec gyre what are the pros and cons of either
 
I have them both in my 48 x 18 w x 21 d I like both pumps. The gyre is great for the top of the system movement and aeration of the water. The new gyre's are coming out very soon with a new controller that will have more abilities for settings. I have my MP40 in the center of the tank to move the water lower in the tank and the gyre's pick up the middle of the tank water for great water movement.

 
If you want more controllability, MP-40. Wider flow, XF-150. I also use Ecotech and Gyre in my CL 70G Artisan II. I have the Gyre pushing from side to side and 2x MP-10s pushing back to front. Gives me allot of random flow for my SPS dominant tank.
