And Ultima 90 shudnt come closer to hyper 212 fitted with a high cfm 120mm fan [<2200rpm with 90+ cfm]
If you have 2.4k+ to spare, look no further and get SCCF 120. Really gr8 vfm
SCCF bundle has :120mm cooler with larger copper pipes*4 + fan controller + TX-2 + mounting kits + 120mm 2000 rpm MFDB fan for 2.6k
considering vfm

I am not sure of your comments on performance of ultima90i vs CM hyper 212 +.
And not everyone wants a 30dB+ fan running in their rig, which kind of restricts usage of high cfm fans.
I hope you do realise that though it's HDT, the finnage and resultant surface area on the Hyper 212 was more than on the 212+.
SCCF mounting sucks, build quality is cheap- waste of money imho.
CM Hyper 212 plus is ok, not very expensive at 1.8K-1.9K, comes with a decent fan too.
I still prefer the plain Hyper 212 with solid copper base plate o r rather i don't like HDT ones actually.

HDT coolers have their own quirks.
OP needs for cpu at stock speed mostly and though it's a PentiumD but a D9xx, CM Hyper TX2 or TX3 (1.3K-1.4K) may be enough for him too.
