97 actually, Bob has already expressed his interest as well

Don't know in the US, but in Europe the picture is different... Basically resellers are probably self-convinced that we (the WC addicts) are rich...

Then, if an Iwaki MD20 cost 180 € and two D4's in series will cost 200€, my choice is only concerned by ease of use. Price is not an issue nor performance / noise / etc (the Iwaki will be better in any case)

Regarding the RD30, this beast is at MD40RZ performance level, which seems a huge quantum leap to me from what you can get from any current 12VDC pump on the market. It is basically to protect your investment during the product lifetime (I am sure you will not need to change your pump until it breaks apart and even then, It is an Iwaki, It can be repaired)

I do agree however that the pump is vastly overpriced and that It won't have any demand at those price levels... But make it go under 200$ and we'll see...
