Anyone using Corsair Hydrocool? Ex?

I was debating purchasing a Corsair Hydrocool 200ex for roughly $160. Is this a good price? What's the difference between the original Hydrocool 200 and the ex? I noted the [H] review of the 200 showed an incredible number of flaws like 90° bends, flow indicator bottleneck, concave waterblock, etc.

Is the ex much improved? Is anybody using one to good results? Or should I be looking for an Exos or something if I am interested in a pre-built external watercooling system?
 
I did quite a fair bit of research on these units before i bought my Exos. Corsair seems to have discontinued watercooling for now... and I am very happy with the quality of the exos. It really couldn't be much better... but now, with the Exos II coming within the next week or two, I think it will be improved... e.g. 3/8 inch tubing, 2x 120mm fans... it's gonna be quite nice. but expect $350 WITHOUT waterblocks.

Gotta agree krizzle, Did the same research. The Exos is a great way to get your feet wet.
And works well to.
Gonna get the new Exos , that way I'll use the Exos 1 for my CPU and Exos 2 for the rest :D
