Well lets do the math.I think the 10-year warranty is where its at with ABYZZ
I paid $206 each for a pair of Varios 6 1720gph pumps for $412. They come with a 2 year warranty but i can attest that they last twice as long, and that's without ever being cleaned (running that experiment right now) without even needing an impeller. These likely last longer than 4 years, but ill stick to what I've witnessed personally.
Average cost per year for 2 pumps: $103
A pair of Abyzz A100s will run you $2,700.
10 year warranty but lets say it goes 15 years without even breaking an impeller for the sake of argument.
Average cost per year for two pumps: $180. Not a huge difference mind you when spread out over 15 years but a much bigger front loaded investment.
I am already planning om upgrading to Cor in a few years but with Abyzz it would be like being locked into a bad marriage...you are kinda committed to lock them in and use them long term as your going to lose more in resale than an entire COR costs NIB....so be prepared to be stuck with them along time.
I bought my hydras on sale for $489 each...they still need to last 7 years or so to even begin to be worth the investment IMO. (2 down, 5 to go..)....and i HATE that feeling of being financially locked in.
The Varios, at $200 each....i only really need to get a couple years use before moving them down to upgrades for smaller tanks or even putting them in my storage closet as back ups.
