If you compare the number of Sequence customers to the number of Red Dragon owners though and then take into the account that there are plenty of people who've had issues with the RD pumps then I'm not so sold on the idea of paying a lot more for a RD that has the same flow.
Just take a peek at the Proline forum on RC. I've had issues with my RD and with my Dart running I can def hear it when I fire it up. This was after I swapped motor blocks, impellers you name it. Ive only run it in FW and have heard they will run differently in it but I'm not 100% sold on the pump quality myself. There was even a large recall recently. It was the RDII line but still...
Bad news if the Gold series is discontinued. I'm hoping seals etc will still be available!
If I did it over again I'd likely just buy a pair of large Eheims. Definitely quieter than the Dart (even the Baldor Gold) and maybe quieter than the RD pump I have.
