It looks smaller than the D-Tek HC (in width, not in length)... i may be wrong. The HC is 150mm wide, this one looks more like 120mm wide.
All that counts is surface area. Oh and keep in mind that 2 fans makes twice as much noise as one fan... And your double length rad will be harder to fit. There (if it's 120x240mm) you gain 28% frontal surface area over the DTek one, but again there's the thickness to take into account (2 x thicker = 1.5 x better), as the DTek one seems thicker...
So maybe 20% more active surface area and twice the noise... you decide. Personally i'd stick with a single fan model.

The bottom purge is like this:

Code:

>-----T-----> 
      |
      x+ <-valve
      |

so when you want to purge your system, open the airtrap, then open this valve (and don't forget to bring a basin)
