Just going on looks alone, the fluval with cabinet looks better IMO. The Boyu has bigger capacity, but a lot of that comes from the extra height  42*17*33 compared to 39*17*24 for the Fluval.

 

[tomh1232]

 yea its an extra 50L but its just due to the height of the tank

The Fluval; nice tanks, good stands.

I'd go for the Roma, I like them, can't be faffed with in-hood filters.  Although having said that I personally like the extra height.

Personally, I'd go for the Fluval Roma 200 and matching cabinet.
 
I have had the Roma 90, very good tank and never had a problem whatsoever.
 
The only thing i would change, is rather than using a U4 filter, its very good and does exactly what its supposed to do but its rather bulky and takes up space inside the tank, spoiling the look in the tank a little imo.
 
So perhaps would suggest speaking to whichever store staff and ask about exchaning the U4 for a external filter, a Fluval 306 for example, and paying the slight differrence in prices. Am sure something coud be sorted. Unless of course the package includes an external filter
