Reversible Vent Fan

I am looking at putting in a Fantastic vent fan. Is the option to get a reversible motor worth while?
Thinking of it in a practical sense the fan blades must be oriented to move air in a certain direction. By reversing the motor it seems to me it would be significantly less efficient. I wouldn't think that the blade pitch would be changeable.

Regards
Fred.

My Maxx Air only expels air, as it's uni-directional. I wish it had a reversible motor, as it is sometimes useful to be able to draw cooler or warmer air from outside, in.
Mike. Comments are anecdotal or personal opinions, and worth what you paid for them.

Technical discussion aside, don’t buy and install a vent fan that doesn’t pull air in and exhaust air out as you choose.
