With the magic of google, this is the first thing that pop's up

"UPDATE on Odyssea PS160 skimmer Protein Skimmers. ... Well, this is my conclusion on the Odyssea PS160 protein skimmer. WHAT a piece os S**t. ..."

And I have heard horror stories about aquatraders.com

Yea I have tried doing lots of research on that company as I was tempted to buy a light. Heard nothing but bad about them, so I'll suck it up and save the money for a good light.

I have heard the skimmers leak.

There are plenty of used ASM G2 skimmers out there for sale used. I just sold one recently. I also have one on my 75 gallon tank. With the modifications to impeller and recirculation, it is a great value.
