Yep, I think it percs better than trees. Toro has a showerhead/circulator A/C also but from the vids I've seen they can suffer from spillover where Hedmans don't, and when you use a carbon filter below the A/C you really want an A/C with 0 spillover, the Toro tree A/C's don't have a problem with spillover and come a close second in the filtration department imho.
