The Eheim is 1/2" but Danger Den says if you use there surgical tubing it can be stretched over the fittings. Eheim also does make conversion fittings (and I don't own an eheim but from pics it looks like there threaded like the Danner, so just hit the home depot).

I just traded my Danner Mag-Drive 250 for a 350 Mag-Drive and there wasn't any differance in the noise (it's virtually silent once you get the air out, and make sure it's on something so the case doesn't rattle). From what I hear the Eheim is even quiter and I can't even hear mine over some low speed fans (the 34db type sunons, nothing that loud). I don't think noise will be a problem with either.
