The tank you are using with the Surfy Bear looks to be a MOD. I bought one of those and did not like it – too dark and cavernous (tail too long). I got some Gibbs pans, very old NOS and LOVE the sound of those: splashy with fairly short tail. Pans are acoustic-electric devices and vary greatly in their performance.
Heat from the FET circuit ought to be vented in a larger enclosure. Mine has never gotten the least bit warm because it's bolted to a 8"x18" steel lid with approx. 1296 cu. in. airspace below it in the box.

Finally! An in depth comparison. Thanks for posting Ryan! I'm almost sold on the Topanga.

im planning on moving it into a larger box, ill probably be playing with various pans with it until im happy, they are cheap enough to experiment with.
