Sunlight Supply Skimmers. Anyone seen one?

[pepe.king.prawn]

I'm going to be setting up a new larger tank next month , and have already been denying the fact that I need a larger protein skimmer for too long. I'm not rich enough for a Deltec, Gro-tech, BK or the likes, but need something big and somewhat electricity efficient. blah blah.. to the point.

Has anyone tried/seen one of the new Sunlight Supply skimmers? Seems like a decent deal, but not if it's built like a Jebo.

Saw them in the S.S. booth at the WMC last month. Not quite a Euro Reef, but better quality than a Jebo. I don't like all the thumbscrews to remove the cup.

Actually I asked about it in the booth. The cup just sits on top of an O ring and pulls right off in addition to the the thumbscrews that allow you to remove the entire top. The guy in the booth said it leaks a little where the cup sits on the O ring. Not a huge deal if you plan on using it in sump.

are there any threads on this skimmer?.. I was checkin it out myself.. I see everyone raving on the PC re-circ Skimmers but I have not seen anyone say that it kicks @$$.

I was surprised to learn that the pump on their largest model is 220watts, a bit high for my attempt at an energy efficient system . Thanks for the feedback though guys, I'm seriously considering getting one as I hear recirc skimmers are the way to go.
