From reading the thread on RC the Blackfin sounds like a loud pump. I've heard the Dart Gold is pretty quiet. My tank will be installed on the main floor so quiet is very important.

I recieved my pump today, looks like a quality pump, I will be hooking it up next week (when the new 3" glass drill shows up!) Has 2" intake and output, came with 2"unions. Best part was the price, $203.00us delivered to my door and no customs or brokerage fees.

Just waiting on the glass drill I ordered to install the 2" bulkhead, even with the exchange it was less than $275.00 which IMO is pretty good for a pump of this quality.
