Basically with these powerheads the question is, are you going to run them with an external controller (apex, GHL, etc)? If yes, stick with the Jebao RW/SW series. If you're going to run stand-alone, these are slightly better quality pumps with a lower sound profile, and far better controllers.
The problem for external control arises with requiring an Aqualink A1 control module per pump, due to hardware changes or should I say removal inside the pump head. That's $100 CAD added to the cost of every pump for external controller support, sort of like the Maxspect gyre situation.
