Only if you tune it that high -- you're missing a big point here -- infinite adjustability. You can (and people do) run MP10's in 10 gallon aquariums -- they can be adjusted that low.

Also -- wave generation is not the only thing these do... you can run constant flow, you have 2 variable and random modes of operation, and 2 variable pulse modes for wave generation... you can do a LOT with one pump -- you're not stuck with one concept, by any means.
