Thoughts on the Current Prime 1/3hp chiller

Any thoughts on the Current Prime 1/3hp chiller? I'm thinking of buying this one for when I finally get the 120 setup.

I have the Current prime Modular. I feed it the max gph to get good results but when I fed it the mid to low gph recommendations it came on alot but that was also in the summer so I can't measure my results till next summer. I know sounds weird feed .. you figure if the water is running slower it should cool it better but I have had better results with the higher flow.. Que sera ..Sera
I looked at the one your thinking about getting and I like the built-in temp control and the casing, looks nicer than mine but what I don't like is the barbed fittings.

Works fine, quiet but you know when it is on. Drops temp very quickly. Great price at Dr.Fosters and excellent Customer Service. I had a small problem with mine and I got a new one shipped in 2 days.

Never having used a chiller; I'm assuming that it has to be plumbed outside the stand for ventilation?
