Something elso to consider with a total of 70' run is sump size. You'll need to provide sufficient capacity in the sump to collect all the water draining from the pipe when the pump is shut down or if there's a power failure. Otherwise, mini flood.

That pump is going to have to be huge an draw massive wattage to move water that far I wouldn't bother if the closest you. Could get a sump is 70 feet 3-400 watts running 24/7 will be expensive

hmm...well since that seems to far, maybe i will put it on the other side of the basement, which would put it about 10-15' over instead of 60'
