Well, they claim to have an 'upgraded' part (guess that's kinda German,
too ;)

Moss catalogue this morning I see that in fact
they do sell the two side-by-side as you state at
$96.00 and $163.00 respectively. That is an 80%
increase in price for the "upgraded" pump and I
must wonder what the pump achieves--and how it
does it--to justify such an increase. "Upgrade"
might have several meanings and given the
propensity of these pumps to fail, perhaps
the term describes longevity versus performance,
with a better-quality seal. OTOH if the upgrade
is in performance that usually means increased
water flow. Unless the outer housing is
substantially larger the cast-in "fins" on the
internal impeller cannot be that much larger
and so I wonder how such an increase would be
achieved.</div>
