I need the flow to fan out quickly after it leaves the pump. In a longer tank maybe you'd want the punch of a Tunze to get water movement further into the tank.
I dont feel thats the answer at all...lol
as this test was essentially to see which pump was "better" on an equal playing field in a direct peer to peer comparison.

You make a good point, but it's certainly not the obvious answer here...
