So I decided against spending the $700+ to transfer my 110 to SW but just the thought of having a sw now basically requires that I do... lol so christmass is coming up and I figure why not get one of these and have my first SW tank?

So my only real question is, which one is better? I like the "look" of both differently, the 24g one has a smaller top while the 28g ones top looks bulky and goofy but has a much nicer stand IMO. But is there any known difference in the quality of the two or are they basically the same? I really want to get one of these or one just like it that comes with a free stand, they look nice and I feel like putting my nice SW tank on a countertop somewhere will just look kind of crappy, plus for $250 or $300 (+ a whopping $7 shipping) these seem like a pretty good deal. Plus they come with the easy factor of all the parts being in place which will be nice I think for my first sw setup.
Also what additional things will I need with one of these? I feel like the 28g one comes with more stuff (2x powerheads, a wavemaker, 2x directional flow nozzles). so things I know I would need
Salt, hydrometer, heater appropriate to the size as all of mine are 300w, a skimmer?, substrate, live rock.
I think with all the stuff mentioned in the other thread is covered here.
