recirculation pump opinions

I'm looking at the blueline 1100 from champion and the csl T4.  I plan to split it between 2 tanks.  The blueline uses less juice than an iwaki, so does the t4, but is a little cheaper.  The t4 notoriously runs hot (no fan), but has a 2 year warranty (1 web page states this, champion told me they only have 1).  Blueline pressure rated, t4 circulation only.  As mentioned, I plan to split the line off the pump and use ball valves to give relative distrubution between the 2 tanks.

Thoughts?  Heard any other issues about reliability?

I have a T4 as a return pump on my 180.  One thing you didn't mention is that it is DEAD SILENT.  The only noise is from vibration between the pump and the stand and that's much less noise than even my computer fans...

 

I really like it so far.  As far as long term reliability, I don't know.  The tank is in a cold room in my house so the extra heat is welcome (plus my heaters don't have to work as hard!)
