I preferred classic because it is simple. My rule of thumb is the simple it is the more reliable.
I preferred classic also, this model has being going on for reallllllly long, no other model can beat this yet. The only thing people found problem on is lacking priming but there's quick way to do it, and why the design still lack of priming after so many years is because the lesser thing it has the lesser problem it going to face and lesser $ you going to pay and maintenace.

Yes if you compare the same flowrate. Cheaper alot. Even the spare parts.

really? I also thought classic is the cheapest model I can get new 2213 for $80-$90, not sure how much ecco is for the same flowrate
But how do you compare a pro2 with classic?
Example for a 3ft tank i will use pro2 2028 then compare with classic which model? 2217 or 2260?

Compare using the flowrate(100l/hr difference is ok). If your tank is big, you still need 2 set of filter at each corner to get optimum filter.

Classic as well for me. Cheap and extremely reliable.

Classic: Simple. But no quick release build-in.
Ecco: Common complain is that handle breaks
Pro: I haven't heard much complain on this either.
Pro II: Leak. Always change O-ring
Pro III: Not that widely used yet?
Moral of the story is go for Classic and Pro.
ck
Howcome everytime i ask lfs uncle which is better in filtration compare classic and pro, they will say pro is better.

eheim pro 2224, 2226 and 2228
2222 is too small...
reason is:
1, i like the design
2, all the pro series have built in double tap valve and tray
3, pressure side is 12/16
4, cheaper than pro 2 (everything is the same to me other than priming function)

My personal preference is the Pro2. I've used classics and Pro2s, and I find the Pro2 alot more convenient to maintain. Have never tried the Pro though, so I can't make a comparison for that
I am using the 2028 for my 4ft for the last 2 years. Most happy with performance except it costed more than $20 to replace the broken ceramic-like spindle. Bought the set for $280 but it seems it cost nearly $400 now at LFS.
