I agree as long as "bang for the buck" is not a consideration. You have to consider that the Vortech MP40 is almost 10x the cost of a Koralia 4. I know they are the Cadillac of pumps and the two are hardly comparable but it certainly isn't necessary to drop $500 on one of these to get the job done.

So is the Koralia power head the best bang for your buck

Best bang for your buck is a Sureflow-modified Maxijet.

Koralia are hard to beat for value if all you are looking for is flow.
