It does a good job at comparing pros/cons of the models (parameters are efficiency, weight, noise at various RPMs, price, quality of construction, etc.) You'll find a comparison of the KISS and Air Breeze there. For me, it came down largely to price and ease of purchase.

Ampair units are also designed to be easily repairable/serviced by the user.)
