Less chance for dead spots as well when you have a pump at each end of the tank.
Laminar flow keep detritus in the water column better than random flow.

I am using MP40wESs at 20%. very quiet. I think the pumps would last longer than running an MP10s at 80-100%

I have 2 MP10s in my 75G and I usually run then at about 70% Im more than happy with the amount of flow that these little work horses provide
