Anyone Know the Difference Between SunSun & Aquatop Canister Filters?

[Jer]

Thinking about pulling the trigger on one and when I compare similar sizes on Amazon.com they appear to be identical other than price. About $100 w/free shipping on theAquatop & about $86.50 shipped for theSunSun which looks pretty much the same. Is there any difference for that ~$14 or should I just get whichever is cheaper? I don't mind paying a little bit more but only if I'm getting something for that money. Brand loyalty isn't a reason since either one of these names means about the same to me. Is there anything that comes with these or warranty differences or anything quantifiable for the price difference?

Thanks for the help.

Did some more searching and earlier models had a difference in the fittings and inlet/outlet pieces and the Aquatop had better pieces. Sounds like maybe they're closer to shipping with the same things these days if you get the UV equipped units?

I think if you check it out they are all about the same filter as the Marineland C-Series. I know the Aquatop has the added UV. but other then that I think you can use all the same filter pads etc. I guess the only thing I'd double check is the Warranty.
