Electrical Fans

Hello everyone:

I own a 2003 Fx4 5.4L and I had a couple questions regarding electrical Fans. Have anyone had any experience with Flex-A-Lite 270 Dual Electric Fans or TSP HC7106 Pro Series Dual 11" Fans? The Flex-A-Lite is almost 4 times more expensive ($493 vs $145) but it's CFM rating is 5,500 compared to the TSP at 2,780. Also, the TSP draws 25 AMPs from the system while the Flex-A-Lite draws 28 AMPs. Will the extra AMPs matter? Will I need the extra CFM rating that the Flex-A-Lite provides? How are both in terms of quality? Both have a one year warranty. My final question is, are there any better options?



Thanks!

Having the fan shroud fit the radiator is the most important
Doubt either one fits well
No experience with either of those fans
When I build a project like that I use some big honkin factory fan from a new car in a wrecking yard
Ford Flex and Edge have 1000 dollar fans in them
Use one of those?
