I'll second that. I've got one. The only problem is no one stocks the foam inserts. I got my 2073 from Charterhouse. I emailed them in January - after spending about 500 quid with them over Christmas - and they said the foam would be in stock within a few weeks. They said they'd been too busy over Christmas. Last month I emailed again. They said the foam would be in stock within a week. Once again they said they'd been too busy over Christmas. This was the end of February. They still don't have it in stock.
In the end, I gave up on Charterhouse and bought some from ebay. The seller was Hydrobizz. I placed the order on a Saturday afternoon, and it arrived Monday morning.

I love my 2080, great bit of kit. Not cheap though!

I recently bought a 2075 and am very pleased with the flow, even after flowing my co2 reactor and in-line heater. 😀

Yea, mine is noisy for a few days after a clean. The prefilter seems to trap air. The noise is grating. Giving it a good thump seems to help.
It's a good filter, though. I like the combination of media. The water always looks sparkling.
The only thing I would urge caution about is the flow rate of the 2075. It's a bigger filter, true. But the pump has exactly the same power rating as the 2073. According to my admittedly limited understanding of filters, if you attach more baskets to the same filter, the flow will be reduced. Yet the specs claim the 2075 has a better flow than the 2073. It seems counterintuitive. Granted, it's just one extra basket of MechPro. Nevertheless.
