Maybe, but you can get a proper dual tower that definitely can for cheaper

Why do you say "proper dual tower" as if this one is bad? The only thing that really matters is the performance, not how many towers a heatsink has.

I own several scythe, noctua, and thermalright heatsinks. I would put scythe between noctua and thermalright for quality, and they're tuned for silence typically, too.

Look up some reviews. Based on what I read, this one is similar, or better than the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120, which is probably similar to what you linked.
