What would be the major differences between these two fans?

    Both of them have similar CFM and the Hurricane is four times as pricey as the Vantech. Why? Does it last longer?

    the hurricane is built to be much quieter... the other one will sound like a fan for sure.

    The hurricane is an exhaust fan the other is a booster, even with a higher cfm the vantech booster won't move as much air as the hurricane. Its goofy how they word it. Those boosters are quite, i have one just like it. That's not saying it won't work in your set up but it moves no where near as much air as my inline fan turned down to a quarter of the cfm.

    Chances are the hurricane might be louder unless its turned down with a speed controller just because of the volume of air being moved

    Completely agree with this quote, mixed flow fans like the hurricane one are designed to work against resistance such as filters and long lengths of ducting. Don't worry to much about brand, just make sure its mixed flow, centrifugal/centripetal design... The other design works well as cheap inlet fans...
