I would have leaned toward the masses here, but I just retired two AC110's.
I did have 2 AC110's, 2 Emp400's, and 2 XP2's on my 125.
After a couple gulps of sandy water, the AC's shat the bed. The Emps got the same treatment and are still quiet as mouse shat.
I bought two more Emps for a total of four.
Not only does that make all the media the same now, it also makes the intakes even across the back (anal, I know).
I won't say Emps are "better" (I always loved AC's)at filtration, but I can say IMO, they hold up to eating sand better.
Not to mention, from my research, AC's have went way past Emps. recently in price.
So... I have to bow to the Emperor now.
