Ditto for the Isotherm unit which, except for a different design thru-hull/keel-cooler unit is identical to the Frigoboat. You mentioned the Capri-50-SSC compressor but I believe they've both switched over to the Danfoss compressor.
You'll never go wrong with either unit. The only reason I chose the Isotherm over the Frigoboat is I already had a galley sink thru-hull. The Isotherm replaces that with their own (which combines the keel cooler functions) so it was essentially a swap-out. No additional holes to drill in the hull.
