They are pretty big but I was forwarned before purchasing mine so I took at look at one my LFS had in there tank. The quality of them deffinately makes the size worth it.

I just switched out a MJ 600 and a MJ 900 in our 90g for 2 Korilla 3s a few days ago. So far, I'm impressed with the difference in flow quantity and dispersion. I realize that the Korillas put out more flow than those 2 MJs, but it certainly does not seem excessive. I'd replace the 3rd MJ in our tank with a Korilla, but there's a coral growing on top of it, so it'll have to stay until I find someplace better for that coral.
If you insist on having magnetic mounts (which I greatly prefer over the ever annoying suction cups), it actually costs about the same to buy Korillas that include the magnetic mount as it does to buy MJs and the Algae Free Sure Grip magnetic mounts for the MJ (since those magnetic mounts for the MJs run $25 a piece).
The #3s are a bit bulky, and I find that I have to place them lower in the tank than the MJs in order to keep the Korillas from sucking down a vortex from the surface. Thus far, those would be the only down sides I've noticed.
