I definitly would not be happy if my Vortech sounded like yours Madreefer. I hate manufacturer problems especially when they happen to good products. When my tunze osmolator gave me issues I was really miffed....

There seems to be an underlying theme here and that is that Vortech owners like the product in that it provides a rich feature set. On the other side of the coin, they feel that a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR pump should be of a quality that should not have inferior bearings in it that are either noisy or fail after a a year or so of use.
I have to say that I agree with that, 100% If I'm honest, that's what makes me anxious about buying the product. AND, it should be added, I have a full shop and changing the bearings on either side does not scare me in the least; I just don't see why I should have to when I'm spending that kind of money for a pump.

Thanks for all the comments and discussion. Diverdude I think summed it up perfectly. For the kind of money the Vortech's cost there shouldn't be as many issues with quality control as there seem to be. It was acceptable when the MP40 was brand new and revolutionary, but by now they should have the design a little more refined.
In the end though, I think I may have found a sign... A used Tunze 6055 WITH a profilux cable came up for sale... can't ask for much more can I
