Ahh that explains a lot
The U.S. version seems more interesting indeed.

I concur on the "established brand", though they're awfully expensive here in Europe as well. Like i said i had my Hydor for about 1/3 of the price...

Yep. The only thing i'd worry about is longevity, with the glued impeller and heavy backpressure... Bought mine in March 2001 and it's still running (everyday, heavy use -> 3 waterblocks), but i had to change the shaft. If the US version has a ceramic shaft, it may not be a problem though.

Your comments are welcome
The fact is, i *did* buy a Hydor, so overall i consider it's a better pump, especially if we consider the 'bang for the buck'.
