Build quality and value for your money.
Definately a good build quality. Alot of places seem to overprice these filters. For example, i first found out about it in a lfs, and they were asking $225 for the filter. So shop around online, because i got mine new for about $170.

Great filter. It came with a very easy-to-follow step-by-step setu-up guide on a dvd.
