replacing eheim 1260 return pump with jebao dc3000

hello, I'm thinking of replacing my eheim 1260 with a jebao dc3000.
I'd like to get comments from people who are currently using jebao dc3000 as return pump, good? bad? ugly?
I've been using a pair of wp-25 with my diy controller and it works pretty well.

My main purpose is to reduce power consumption.
the eheim uses 65 watts, and thinking about switching it with a jebao dc3000 pump, at 25watt.

I estimate it will reduce my power usage by approx 28kwh per month.
at tier3 rate, that's about $10 a month.

thanks.
