Could be in comparison to their old 80mm fan/rad design(?) could be totally wrong here though.

US heatercores are thick, and therefor requires more air pressure to function well. The blackice should work better at a lower noise level, because they need less air pressure (generally with axial fans resulting in less noise)
With standard axial fans, with 2" heatercores, I believe they start losing a lot of pressure due the restriction.
