I’m following along. From the looks of it, the classic seems to be a little more ‘clean’ looking. The joints in the tsunami would take away from the look in my opinion. I’m not sure how often you change your equipment so the adjustability of the tsunami might be worth it. For me I don’t think it would be. Add a spot for an auto feeder, maybe a space for your gooseneck on the lights and call it a day. Really cool looking covers either way.

Shipping cost is a big difference as well between the 2. If I had the money, I'd go with the classic all day long. Take a look at Octo Aquatics lids as well. Just as good but located in AZ so shipping will be cheaper.

I got the Pisces EXO lid for my Red Sea Reefer 250. It was almost $300 by the time shipping and customization for the my light mounts and the feeding door were added. I really wanted the classic for the cleaner look but they told it was not going to be ready for months and really pushed the EXO which I think is for cost and manufacturing efficiency. Up close, I don’t think it was worth the price and the quality seems lacking though it gets the job done. It’s too bad more or the tank companies like Red Sea don’t provide a higher quality affordable alternative.
