True, the only downside is they still cost more than DMP's typically. But, I get why people buy them.

I believe they aren't better than DMP's and the wet sides cost twice as much to replace.

I have 5 jebao slw series in my 180. 2 slw 30s. 1 on each side. 3 slw 20s on back glass. You’re gonna need at least this I believe in 180. Started with just the 30s on sides and way too many dead spots. Added 1 slw 20 on middle back glass but still dead spots in back corners. 3 on back has eliminated dead spots. Probably costed total of $300 for all pumps

I do have 2 return pumps going into DT as well

If you want reliable budget powerheads then Jebao is likely the best bet.

I bought 4 DMP65's for less than it would cost me for 1 MP60. It's nuts. I hesitated a while because they don't sell standalone wet sides for the 65 yet, but it hit me that I could just buy whole spare pumps for cheaper than I could buy wetside vortech replacements anyway.
