I don't mean to go backwards on topics but I have been checking out carbon filters for the last few weeks as well and am wanting an opinion or three from people who aren't trying to sell me THEIR products.
I don't want to spend a bunch of money but want to get the most for my money, you know? I'm not necessarily going to buy from HTG (most likely not, to save on shipping) but they have two filters I'm looking at.
This one:

And one similar to this one:
Specifications:

Flange: 6 inches

The first one is a 'can fan' brand and they claim their carbon is of better quality and works better than other brands. What do you guys think, true or hype?
much thanks peeps.
