ASC Tube Traps vs. Cube Tower Trap

Has anyone had experience comparing these two products? The Tube Traps would most likely be the 16" size; the Towers are one size fits all. Being a renter, and having to move from time to time, I need something that will work in a variety of spaces, so can't buy based on just the current need. I'm poised to buy a set of ASC's Sound Panels and will follow that up with the traps. The Towers are of some interest because they are more "decor friendly". Any feedback would be appreciated.

One big difference is that the tube trap is tuneable - you can rotate the inside with an allen wrench - for varying degrees of reflection and absorption. The cube trap is not tuneable.

I am in the process of getting a set of sound panels too.
I didn't know they came in different widths. I was told they could be spaced on the wall and still be just as effective.
If that's the case I guess it just comes down to aesthetics.
I was going to put 6 of them on the back wall, and use two
for side reflections. The 8" is fine for the back but a little narrow for the sides.
BTW, I have a set of cube towers, custom 5 ft tall, in the corners behind my speakers. I am in a small room, and couldn't get by without them. They really do work.
