3 canister filters i am considering:

I love all 3 of my Renas but am trying out the marineland steel canister now to see if I like it too. I don't want to be tied to only one brand. My experience with things that I have loved over the years is that sooner or later they become unavailable and then you have no options. In my opinion, its better to explore options before you get stuck in a corner. For the dollar value I still think the Rena line is great.
 
Go with the Eheim, if you want the best deal for your hard earned money.
