Help with reservoir choice

Currently sourcing all the parts for my first loop and am undecided on the res. I will be using a d5 vario pump and really like the look of the new xspc d5 tank res, does anyone have any experience with it? Alternatively i would go with an ek multi res or the switech micro, although space is not an issue. Any advice would be appreciated.
Heres the tank.

The only thing I would be worried about in using that res/top attached to the pump would be vibrations eventually cracking the acrylic. Although I admit it does look nice

Other than that any res will do, I'm not aware of any bad ones. Personally I use a Bitspower Z Multi.

I like the look of it too but it's untested long term yet so I might just go for a multires.

First time I've seen this res and personally I love it. If I'd seen this a couple months ago I would have tried it out, no question.

I wouldn't be too worried about vibrations cracking the res as long as the pump is secured well enough to the res. The res looks as if it would need to be seated on some foam pads to adequately dissipate any vibes though.

I think i'm going to give this a shot, a few over at xs have them already and have said its very well built from think acrylic.
