vote for the vortex here! absolutely love it. from what i know its quieter than the firestorm.. but the firestorm has a raspy sound to it, which i didn't like, my vortex sounds just right i think
cheers

firestorm is fantastic - i don't find it raspy at all, just plain awesome. It sounds like nothing else, and although its loud, I would say its enhancing rather than a nuisance. It looks good as well, but to be honest I think it boils down to individual choice. I love it, better than the Blitz Nur Spec and Scooby sport before it - but bet theres plenty of people who think the opposite. Best bet is to hear as many as you can and then decide. Even the kids school headmaster loves it!!

the vortex seems to flow a bit better than the firestorm.
the firestorm has a much louder and deeper rumble.
