There's actually a graph on my Eheim box that shows how the flowrate drops off as you put more head on the system.generally it's not too bad till you get over about 2 feet then things start to drop off badly. Anyway the original point is, don;t you find that a larger pump doesn't actually make much difference due to diminishing returns?

Personally, I have found that the pumps rated to 1000L/H yield the best results. After that, it really doesn't matter. I will be using peltiers in my system, and probably an OC 1.5Ghz Tbird, so the flow will have to be very good in my system.
