Need skimmer clarification between reef Octo 300R and reef Octo 300SSS

[Rick Csekme]

I ordered a new Reef octopus "OCTO" regal 300SSS skimmer and they sent me a Regal 300INT. I called them and they said sorry and then overnighted me a Reef octopus "OCTO" Regal 300S. I called them again and they said it is the same thing. I tried to research on line and only found that the Regal 300s was a 2015 model.
Everything looks the same on the box but am I getting Screwed if i paid for the Regal 300SSS and got the Regal 300S?

I even told the guy that my receipt says Regal 3000SSS and so should the box. Currently I have two of the wrong skimmers in my living room and none on my 600 gallon reef.

Please help.
*Note the people were very nice at Top Shelf Aquatics.

I agree, they are saying that this is the same skimmer and only dropped the SSS and now call it the 300S. I don't know if this is true?
