Mike,

it's for a friend who is very new to the hobby and potential zna club member. Besides, doing this kind of research is a huge benefit for my future dream pond.

Once under a small load, the wattage will reduce slightly for better efficiency. If you place a Lim Dragon and an Evolution Series ESS pump side by side with no decals on it, you will not be able to tell which is which. Still, for the pond you want to use these for, this will be the best bang for your customer's buck! JMHO
