Well, one's $145 and one's $160 so same price. What about the noise it makes, and can you even notice the power or not?

There is definatly a power increase, and the noise is great also. The main difference between the 2 is the Filter. The pipercross uses a smaller foam filter. Foam in general flows a bit better, but let's more particles through. We use a larger cotton filter. The cotton flows a little less (made up by the size though) but filters better.

Those are the basic diffrences.

Thanks

I love the Pilo and would recommend it. Great price, excellent quality, looks really good, high quality filter, Dan throws in a cleaning kit, and it makes similiar power as the rest.

Plus the money goes to Dan who can keep producing high quality Mini only items.
