So debating on a skimmer for the new tank… will be about 575 gallons total water volume

looking at the $700 aqua max coneS co-6 the $600simplicity 8000dc as my budget models to get me going the first year or so… maybe forever if they do the trick the deltec 3000 dc version as middle price at $1300and possibly a bubble king Deluxe300 with the sale at brs right now for $2100 as my high end option
Cost doesn’t always make things better. Any opinions on items listed ?
 
Whelp my phone posted and the title wasn’t finished or the post. FACE PALM

bottom line I’m looking for opinions and would like to take advantage of the sales this weekend… any advice on above models ? Will the aquamaxx or simplicity get me by until the tank is thriving ? Should I use two smaller skimmers in case of a failure so I still have somthing? Should I get the budget unit to start then keep it as a backup? So many options….. is dv better than ac? Heat is beneficial and a non issue as it’s in the basement and I’m gonna struggle to heat the tank 8-10 degrees I feel….
Thanks in advance. I’ve never owned a high end skimmer maybe I’m missing out!
