Simply put: there is no cheaper version of the Vortech. I was a non-believer as well -- until I got my first pump. If you're not familiar with the Vortech product line, read up on them... they're not just pumps... they're wave generation devices, with infinite adjustability on speed, pulse length, randomness, etc. There is not a product on the market that compares to them. You can do just fine going with the cheaper solution, don't get me wrong -- but it will take more pumps and more invasion in the tank to get what you want. If you have to add, say, 3 pumps to your tank -- you're already halfway to the purchase cost of an MP10.
Look up the product line, and some videos of what they can do -- you'll be impressed
Edit: as a clarification to my initial statement -- the other propeller pumps on the market do a great job of providing non-laminar flow, but there is not a single one that can achieve what the Vortech line can, with as little power draw as it can. The aesthetics of the pumps is much nicer for a show-type display, but their abilities and range is FAR more than this alone.
