I'm still confused as to which is the better pump, the DDC or the D4? Acoustic properties and size aside, I can't tell which pump yields the better results. According to previously posted flow rate graphs (several pages back), with a relatively unrestrictive block like the MCW6000, the D4 is significantly better. According to the graphs posted in this ^^ pump comparison, the DDC has less head the than D4? Is that graph at all accurate? It would seem to me that the DDC would excel in a highly restrictive loop compared to the D4 according to the P/Q curve on the Swiftech website.
