Fantastic Ultra-Breeze or Maxxair II?

I'm planning to get a cover for my rear Fantastic Fan, pretty decent sale at Camping World right now. The Ultra-Breeze is slightly more expensive than the Maxxair II.

Looking for advice from those that have tried either or both of these fan vent covers, which is preferred (with FFs) and which is easiest to install?

Thanks in advance, Bob

I thought the Maxxair II covers provided better ventilation and were much better looking so I installed them, used the silver color to shade the light coming from the ceiling, especially the bedroom.

The Ultra-Breeze covers let the vent lids open a little more completely, but I still think we get better ventilation out the Maxxair covers because of their wrap-around design. They can stay open in rain and towing down the road, we like them.

Thanks Doug. I think I'll give the Maxxair II a try. It seems to be a little more 'solid' and better looking than the Ultra-Breeze.
