DUH is big and expensive and more involved install, but offers the best cooling and huge surface area. AWE is the best SMIC in terms of performance design, but very expensive. APR and RS4 are the same, and an upgrade and better, but not much bigger than stock intercoolers, although the cast endtanks help a lot. The new ones done by silva on the other board look like the most promising. Their core volume is almost as big as the AWE, but they are a lot less expensive.

DUH is 'expensive' and AWE is 'very expensive'? I think you have that backwards.
