actually, the dart is 3500 at zero head and the ampmaster 2100 is 2100 at 5.2 feet of head pressure. at 5.2 feet head, the dart is around 2500 and uses more energy. So my friend, there is not so big a difference is there?

well, my friend....if you know everything about these pumps, what's the post for?
I know they both have great reputations, and i know the Dart is very quiet, but that is all i know.

*the Dart is best suited for a closed loop, not as a return pump.

Leakmaster vs pump that has no reputation for leaky seals, no brainer here.
