Night & day.
What size is the tank?
IMO - Vortech - depending on tank size, you may only need 1.

well im going to be uprading to a bigger tank size, prob. a 265 gallon

they are both diffrent
sea swirls go 90 degrees but need you main sump pump to work
vortech is its on world

i have the sea swirls and i have used them with vortechs on my 290g which is 7' long. you will probably benefit from using both. i had 3 vortechs but i switched over to Tunzes because of the constant humming from the vortechs. it all depends on what type of corals you are going to keep......sps then more multiple units, lps you could get away with 2 opposing each other.

I use Sea Swirl for a variable return flow....and Vortechs for diferent additional modes of flow...:splitspin

so does this sound ok, 2 1 inch seaswirls kinda centered in the middle, but obviously not close to each other, and 2 mp40's , on the ends facing each other?????

...2 1 inch seaswirls kinda centered in the middle...

How big is your return pump...two 1" returns is a lot of flow...two 3/4" should be fine (and less $)
