Looks quite remarkably like the PQ curve for the Iwaki RD-30, which also has 80/45W input/output. So I gather that you managed to talk Iwaki into doing a 12V version of the RD-30 Bill?

Indeed, most pumps out there being sought/bought are total junk. After a few painful lessons I've come to accept that you truly do get what you pay for. If a pump costs $50 (or less), there's going to be some reason why.

Laing need to get a little hungrier. I was a little annoyed that their second tier price breaks started at 250 units. In the USA the price does seem discouraging. For the ROTW, $95US is a total steal. Would love to see a D5 though with ~20W power input. Still, that's just a D4 run at 15V today.

Edit: I see at the Iwaki Japan site that the RD pumps are available in 12V as well on request.
