[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 55070, member: 2152"] Just try and start with the end in mind.a little one can be carried in a long way, i love my little pump (yep just an import special) when I'm in a tight area or a new one, one handed you can walk for a very reasonable distance to get the best spots, (good sharp bends deep holes, just that wee bit further along that's just p perfect). I run a two tier banker so i just increase the angle between the boxes for the little pump. If you look after a pump with even a half decent build quality it will last. Remember the gmc tools? Still got a 9 inch grinder, an 850w generator, and hammer drill, all working fine, because they get looked after long after the guy up the road sent his to the scrap heap. 9 years out of that grinder, has a special place in my heart. Anyway, if most of your pumping is on fairly flat sort of country then the bigger one will be your best bet, letting it chug away will serve you more economically in the long run die to extended pump life, but keep in mind if you're on a budget that bigger pump equals higher cost for fittings, hoses etc, or put another way, you probably end up with better quality accessories for the same price with the smaller one.
