It is good option but not better than xtraflo and excalibur.

3 pin. xtraflo have 4 pin PWM functionality.

Sorry my bad, it was not the xtraflo but the blademaster.

But Have a look at this

120 mm Fan Roundup, Part 2: 1350 RPM or Higher Rotation Speed. Page 4 - X-bit labs

matches the kama flow 2

CM Standard Blue LED - 90CFM @ 2000RPM (Long-life Sleeve Bearing less noisy compared to ball based bearings,not very long lasting needs maintenance and prone to changes due to thermal inconsistency)
CM Excalibur - 85.6 CFM @ 2000RPM (Barometric Ball Bearing : read better build,long lasting and silent)
CM Xtraflow - 82.9 CFM @ 2000RPM (Long Life Sleeve)

Now if you want move more air then its a no brainer but to buy the CM Standard Blue. CM Excalibur though robustly built costs an insane Rs 1900 for a 120mm fan.CM xtraflow give it a miss.

First the sickleflow produces 69.9 cfm and matches the scythe kama flow 2. It easily outperforms the excalibur and blademaster(predecessor of the xtraflo)
No need to go for the excalibur.
And afaik the blue xtraflo is not available in india.
So its your choice.
