New powerheads what do you guys think?

I got these used off eBay , the only thing is they are about 4 years old. It's tunze ts24, 2x 6010 , one 7095 controller, and 2 magnets.
I was either going to get this, or 1x used mp40, or two koralia 1400 and a controller, or these. I thought this was the best deal. All three would have been around $300.

You will like them. I have a 6055 and want to get more.

Functionality wise you will like them, but the newer versions are a little more sleek and round looking, have sound dampening rubber feet, better magnet, and titanium shaft. Great pumps and should last you quite a long time still.

Thanks, I knew that these were kinda out dated, but I couldn't afford a new set, (a new ts24 is $900+). I am hoping to get another couple years of life out of them.
The magnets on the holders are no joke. I about couldn't get them apart with a piece of cardboard in between.
I will need another magnet holder though, it came with one tunze magnet that is fine and the other magnet holder is an algae free brand, and it's rusting a little and not in good shape.
I put one in my 47g column tank to try it out, and soon as I turned it on immediate sand storm, so that's not going to work, but they seem to work fine though.
I thought they looked kinda small in pics , but once in the tank they are pretty big.

Keep an eye out, what size tank do you have?
Mp10's can be found for like $150 used sometimes.
Koralia's are not to bad, just get a controller for them, they have about the cheapest controller out there. I thought about going with those if I couldn't find any used stuff at a decent price.
Controllable powerheads are a nice feature. In the first tank I set up, I didn't use a controller and its kinda a pain. It's hard to get the flow the way you want, especially if you have an odd shaped tank.
