Default HSA 1000 vs my ETSS?

[IMG][/IMG]How do you guys rate this skimmer? Its a HSA1000 by marine tech and its from 1998
What do you think its worth? its missing the external cup and gate valve. The current owner is asking $350 and he said the lowest hell go is $250. He has two of the same. Is that a good deal or no?
I was thinking of possibly upgrading from my ETSS which im really not sure if its an upgrade. what do you guys think? here s soon pics of my etss[IMG][/IMG][IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

its basically a model 600 but it was the only one made with the longer, clear down draft.
