Aero tech xt or Steamaction stealth fighter

[Carfar4]

I was looking into the aero tech xt system and a stealth fighter and wondered what you guys would choose
The stealth has 20 hg vs aero tech has 16 hg
The cfm is pretty similar ( aero tech has 70 cfm more)
The heat is where the aerotech beats the fighter
And obviously the xt has some very nice bells and whistles you can add on
Was wondering if you guys had any thoughts?

Don’t make your decision based on heat. Anything over 220 is a waste.

I think power and heat matters less between the two than what there in. Meaning the vehicle. They both have more power than god and putting one against the other is splitting hairs, but if you're talking about a full blown aerotech in a box truck, not "areotech jr" packed into a standard express van. Its gunna require alot more real-estate to park and will run about 35k more out the door. Also with all pto's theres repair, from what i understand, alot of Isuzu dealerships don't want to deal with pto systems. I know when my chevy blew an engine i had to do alot on the pto end( mine is Serpentine belt driven) to get them to work on the engine. I had to remove and replace the dog house, disconnect & reconnect all wiring remove and reinstall all machine pulleys and belts. And re laser align pto drive shaft(they marked and replaced to mark) . Where as the steam action is a slide in. Will fit in a assortment of different vehicles and outside of fuel/ fuel tap will not effect any part of van and could take up less real-estate. As for me, where it's parked turned out to be a really big consideration when getting a new rig. I originally went to Las Vegas and was about to purchase a butler in a box van. At the last minute i had a friend back home run down and measure my shop door. Turns out the box truck was 3" taller than the door. So in my case real-estate was the determining factor in what i ended up with so how mechanically inclined are you??? Do you know which end of a ratchet is a hammer? Pto's tend to need less maintenance but if your not the one thats doing it, then who is?? Same goes for the steam action whos gunna fix it? I don't know how rural you are in there in Minnesota. But parts and repairs should be at least part of your consideration anyway long winded enough , for me i lean twards pto's i love um but the xt would be out for me for reasons pointed out above i would have to go with there DDS system but to me that looks like 5lbs of shit in a 1lb box. I went pto but opted for custom built
