I've been unable to locate reviews on these specific models except on their own websites, which I have to say scares me. Are there specific features in these models that you like? If so, finding another company might be your best choice for reliability.

I'm no water filter expert, but I'm kind of with bernices, just in general buying direct from the smaller-time companies can be a crapshoot unless you get a specific recommendation from a third party you trust.

That said, I've seen a lot of shopping sites like Shopzilla and NexTag carry similar items from AllergyBuyersClub.com...they seem like they would have a unique and relevant perspective on which filtration systems you might want to buy. Nothing similar to your favored filter for less dough on first glance, but, just a thought...
