IM Nuvo 20 vs AquaTop 24g cube

[BAPrince]

I am getting back into the aquarium hobby after a 15+ year break, and diving into the reef hobby for the first time. I am planning a large tank build that I hope to have wet by summer (approx 175g). In the meantime, I need to get my hands wet (literally) to implement all of the knowledge I've gained from here and YouTube over the last few months. To that end, I've been searching for a used AIO cube to set up as a nano reef now.... knowing I can turn it into a frag tank later when the bigger tank is wet. I have a line on a IM Nuvo 20 and a AquaTop 24G Reef Nano. Question... if price and condition were very similar... which tank is better for my goals?

I know the IMs are very popular. I've not heard anyone say anything (good or bad) about the AquaTop tanks. Maybe someone else can chime in to help.
