Oh and I did notice a difference between oceanpure, and oceanpure pro. the pro has higher calc/alkalinity, but both have very high mag (~1500)

No experience with instant ocean, but I haven't felt a real need to switch.
I just abandoned Oceanpure Pro due to massive lack of Alk in 2 pals. Make sure you test. I even found differences in the bags inside the pals had different ALK reading.
