Few reasons I chose the maxspect,
1. price
2. dim factor
3. programable
I didn't want to deal with timers anymore, both the MP10 and Max relieves me of that issue. the design was nice, tank mountable works better for me than ceiling mount.
I like the purple hue that some don't like but then again it really comes down to what I'm planning on keeping. I'm going with a "minimalist" look and moving away from the "rock wall" on this system so corals won't be so high and being able to dim resolves the possibility of bleaching.
Yeah, I'm not so impressed with the skimmer, looking at Tunze as an option but will be running the system skimmer-less after the cycle for a few months and then figuring it out then.
But the Maxspect give you a great bang for the buck, I'm looking into trying to mod it with some reds and greens, possibly placed with the 420s but not sure if I'm good enough to do that yet.
Got some pics?
