Filter cups vs fleece roller?

[childers]

I was planning on adding a reef mat 1200 to my 180 build but am starting to consider leaving the filter sock setup and using filter cups and poly-fill. The tank is a Pro Star 230g. The sump has six filter sock holes. I am dialing back on corals and focusing more on fish until my kids get a little older. I do feed a little heavy and will probably stock a little heavy. Which would you do? Should I order filter cups for $120 and deal with poly-fill every other day or get the expensive reef mat and order the off brand refills?

Roller mat all the way, I have the 1200 myself

I have a clarisea and will never go back to socks.
