XP2000 VS XP2000sss?

[scottfaulkner11]

Im about to buy either a super reef octo. xp2000 cone skimmer or the super reef octo. xp2000 super space saver cone. Im leaning towards the SSS because of limited room in my skimmer chamber, and the sss has a nice footprint of only 8" x 12". My question though is will the space saver model perform as well as the regular xp2000. Someone told me that it wont because they have to cut 4" of the cone out to hold the pump underneath, but the xp2000 sss is actually four inches taller than the xp2000, so im pretty sure he was wrong.

If I'm correct the pump sits below the bubble plate and doesn't really interfere with operation.

Alright thanks, and i have a correction, the footprint is 8X10.
