any reason for that? is the 600rv different from a regular 600? im guessing its just the venturi

this is from cpr's website:

The Bak-Pak models currently come with either the Rio 600RV or the Maxi-jet 1200RV. Both pumps operate the skimmer efficiently. We have made an option available for the hobbyist to choose their preference. If you are satisfied with the Rio 600RV, you should continue to use this pump. The Rio 800RV has a slightly different impeller design and does not work as well as the 600RV.
