Need Advice on a Return Pump

I currently have a 1262 running for my return pump. I find it a little noisy and not enough flow where i can build a manifold that can run my return,Uv,Brs React and small refuge. I was thinking of going with a flow star 1500 pump. Anyone have experience with them. Is there a way to build a manifold to run all these things. Is it strong enough to get the job done. Is it quiet. all equipment are in the sump under tank so not much head pressure involved. Please feel free to post pictures if you like.
My tank is a 140gal tank
48x30x22

ATB Flow Star and the Laguna Max-Flo are the same pump if I'm not mistaken, only the Laguna is a lot cheaper. Just about everyone who uses them says they are the quietest pumps available, bar none.

Water Blaster's are also excellent pumps and super quiet.

waveline or speedwave, dead quiet, speed adjust and DC. And you can never have too many remotes.
