would not a single pump of higher reliability be advantageous ?

you are looking at the difference between DIY and an engineered solution

If I remember correctly unregistered, you found C-Systems claim of 50,000 hours MTBF for their pumps to be a completely ludicrous proposition at the time they were unveiled, I did too. I believed, and still believe Hotseat's testing claims and rationale for that pump's MTBF rating. You didn't let him off the hook though. Now you sell a pump with the same claim...ironic to say the least.
But which one is more reliable? C-Systems pumps claim the same MTBF your pumps do, and both pumps are engineered by companies with a lot of experience designing cooling solutions for transport equipment like cars, boats, etc. I guess we need to buy some random samples of both pumps and put'em in a loop and wait 'till one breaks. Until that test I don't think the information exists to substantiate a claim of one pump being more reliable than the other.
I doubt C-Systems pumps are prone to failure. They had growing pains because the market blew up on them faster than they anticipated. But I can buy two CSP750's from D-tek and save $10 vs. buying
one of Swifttech's pumps, from Swiftech directly. So what's advantageous here?
