Perhaps dP of each block may help somewhat here for the theoretical angle analysis.

At 10LPM, dP of Storm/G4 is ~7.8mH2O, and for the basic Cascade is ~4.8mH2O.

Would suggest perhaps plotting a dP curve as suits against a few pump PQ curves, including dP for a heatercore and tubing. Determine the final flow rates, and then factor in the 0.53 sized orifice area for the Storm over the Cascade to arrive at jet velocity boost. I think you'll find that even for the weak Eheim 1046, or the E1250 which seems to be causing the most troubles in those graphs, that the boost is very substantial.
