Got one L30 in my sytem. I've been using it for 1 and half a year. It's rather powerful, and may share the flow / pressure characteristics of the 1250, but i've got some griefs:
- It's definitely noisier
- It's absolutely burning hot
- it vibrates a lot, i had to suspend it...
- the shaft is cheaply made. i had to change it once.
On the other hand it's cheaper...I'd consider it more an alternative to VIA or Rio's than to Eheims.
If you want small and amazing pumps, try the Maxijet series -> some ppl here reported they're great for their price.
