Like most folks do, I'm starting to get a teensy weensy bit hacked off with my Juwel Trigon 190's internal filter.

I know the standard advice is something like, "grab the spatula, whip out the casing, drill some holes in your lid, fit an Eheim". But here's the thing, I don't have great access to the sides & back of the tank so I really don't want an external. Instead I was thinking of running a pair of internals in the tank. I know that internals never perform as well as a good external but can anyone see any reason why I could not go down this route?

I currenty have a spare Fluval U3 which is suitable for 90 - 150 litre tanks - could I run a pair of these in the tank or would I be better with a single U4 which is suitable for 130 - 240 litres? Or perhaps I could mix & match - a U3 & an Eheim Aquaball for eaxmple?
 
I would mix and match and have on opposite sides of the tank but pushing the current in the same direction so that they are pushing the water towards each other in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
