The maelstrom allows for a more powerful pump, but I don't know why you'd need a res that has dual pump options? I personally liked the XSPC dual bay res for the D5 Vario/MCP 655 more.

I was actually just in the same boat trying to decide and I ended up going with the Swiftech Maelstorm with a single pump (can always add second later). Mainly because everywhere I was reading the RP-452X2 was a bleeding nightmare and many people ran into issue's trying to make it bleed or taking several hours to complete bleeding after moving the case around even on its side.

NP, I used to use that res and absolutely loved it, I like how it comes with both a black and aluminium faceplate, and it's pretty easy to install the pump. I'd definitely recommend it.
