Just like to share this.
From what i tested using the yate loon medium and the s-flex f series fan on a top exhaust you would get the same amount of air out of the MESH. the s-flex f series maybe better without the mesh in the way tho. I don't know that answer.
You can't get them directly from Yate Loon, but Petras does (only retailer I know that does, in fact). They're distinctly different fans....the D12BL-12 from jabtech wasn't so great either

What about the Silverstone? Keep in mind that I won't publish any data from them (or usually even test them) because I've had nothing but horrible experiences with all but the FN121 (which barely beat a 'non-Yate' Yate Loon).

FM123 - horrible, mine made a Sunon look good (really)
FN122 - quiet, really quiet, but pushes like NO air!
FM122 - least favorite fan from the first bunch....and so horribly overrated and believed Silverstone should tarred and feathered
FM121 - ditto from FM122, but even MORE overrated (but not quite as bad of a fan at least)

The airflow of the S-Flex F and D12SM-12 on restriction are very similar. In fact, the D12SM-12 only pushed like 55CFM at 12V in my testing...
