"All four skimmers were quite similar in the second performance
figure-of-merit, the total amount of organics removed. The
skimmers typically removed greater than 80% of the BSA. In
contrast, perhaps one of the more interesting observations to
emerge from these studies is the fact that all four skimmers
tested removed only 20 - 30% of the total organics present in authentic reef tank water."

If you read the article carefully, you will realize how little we know about what makes a skimmer "better" than another.
The construction arquements sound more like personal preference.....rather than a factor that effects performance or reliability.
My rationalizion for suggesting the ASM is without any other requirements/needs/wants listed......I avoid suggesting one spending more money than needed.
