alphacool vpp655 pump vs swiftech mcp655 pump

[letsrelax]

This is one of the last things I have to buy to complete my first water cooling system, the problem I have is which pump to use.

My wc system consists of:
1 x 360 alphacool rad
1 x 200 phobya rad
2 x xspc gpu water blocks
1 x xspc cpu water block
1 x 200mm reservoir

I know these pumps are the same. There is even an option to get the swiftech pump to have variable modes like the alphacool pump.

My confusion is that there is a price difference of $25 between the alphacool and swiftech pump that appear to do the same things.

Is there something I don't know? Is there something I'm missing? What do you guys think I should use for my system?

No difference between them, their both D5's which are basically all the same. You get D5 Varios where you can adjust the speed, and some D5 models (Koolance 450-S comes to mind) can be overvolted, but thats about the only changes to the original Laing design your going to find.

I think VPP655 is better than MCP655 because flow speed of VPP655 is 1500l/h? I don't know is it that speed exactly???
