Our point about the pictures is that you're putting too many of them in and not enough technical information.

Your first major error in my opinion is comparing it to a VA2600. Useless comparison there. You have the chart on its side, flow should be at the bottom and pressure at the side. Your graph is also hard to read due to the solid bars, and the line should stop at 0GPH.
Quote:
Notice how the Via 2600 starts off with a much higher flow rate, however, as the length increases,
Which length? You're implying that tubing length is what affects flow.
Quote:
However, the MCP600 is more suited for smaller loops that recquire higher pressure.
Doesn't the D4 have higher pressure? Everything I've seen says "yes." Your test is flawed.
Quote:
If you have a larger system or an external system, then the MCP600 may not be what you are looking for.
That's directly contradictory to the previous sentence. More pressure allows a larger system, even though your test is flawed.
Quote:
It scales the best and does not suddenly plummet in flow rates when the distance increases.
Distance again.

It sounds like a quiet electric razor, or perhaps the whine of a 40mm fan.
What kind of quiet electric razor? What RPM 40mm fan? I see the link now. It's the loudest pump there by far. You should point out that it's the loudest pump known.
Quote:
After running it for several hours the pump was only slightly warmer than my hand, and the heat dumped into the water from the pump was not even noticable.
How'd you measure? What cooling method for the water were you using? How much water was in the system?

Rating it as quiet after showing proof that it's the loudest pump on the market does not go very well for most people...

This is not the worst review that I've seen, but it is also by far not the best.

You may be writing for noobs, but are you doing them a favour?
