From my understanding the major advantage of the gold versions is they tend to be quieter. If noise isn't a major issue it may not be worth while but personally I find the regular Darts to be too noisy for living room type setting.

I also believe the gold has a better seal, I have 2 darts, one has the big baldor motor and one has the smaller finned baldor motor(I believe it's the same as the gold motor), both are excellent pumps, the hybrids I've seen have a an even smaller AO Smith motor, personnally I don't like that motor. I would get the regular Dart, I don't think the gold is worth an extra 130 clams.
However, they seem to be constantly changing things up and you don't always get what you see on a website, so maybe get an actual pic or see for yourself. Love my darts.

Well having a pump that makes as much noise as a mack truck going up hill wouldnt be very good as it will be in my living room... But I do plan on lining the inside of the stand with 3/4" or 1" styrofoam to reduce as much noise as possible and keep moisture off the wood
