Thanks everyone!Your twisting my arm to get a EHEIM haha I was leaning that way anyway and I am definatly going to get one now.
I have used mag 7s for returns in the past, and thought they were just OK. They were noisy and did make my sump run hotter. The only EHEIM I have used was on a calcium reactor. It was a smaller model but even then, it was SOOOO silent and did not feel hot at all. I'm thinking its worth the extra cash to go for EHEIM.
Well according to MarineDepot.com, this is what I have found:What Eheim is comparable to a mag7 or mag9? I used the calculators and cant seem to find the right one.
Eheim 1262
Pump Output: 900 gph
Delivery Head: 11`6"
Power Consumption: 80 W (115V)
Hose Connection (Suction Side): 1"
Hose Connection (Pressure Side): 3/4"
Dimensions: 8.6" x 4.6" x 6.3"
Weight: 5.7 lbs
Mag-Drive 9.5
Flow Rate: 950 GPH maximum flow with a 14` shut-off
Power Consumption: 93 Watts
Pump Size (L x W x H): 5.0" x 3.0" x 5.5"
Outlet Size / Inlet Size: 3/4" MPT / 3/4" FPT

Now the wattage was a little less for the Eheim, although from what I heard from people it was suppose to be a greater difference.
