Man you're impatient :-) I'd probably contact Rockport to give you a good answer. My guess is that they're designed for slightly different sized rooms and Altair can move more air.
I'm sure you'll get more sophisticated answer here than mine...If I was in the market I'd take a trip to their facility, I'm sure that's be quite an experience...
