I have heard the same too about the early version of WP60 being loud but Jebao apparently is working on or have improved the noise problem. Wonder if FS is selling the improved version.

As far as innovation and stealing R&D goes... I think there's a lot to be said about having Pump + Controller + Light Sensor for such an economical price... that is if they last. The pumps look pretty much like clones of Tunze pumps but I believe the programming, speed control programs, and light sensing is unique to Jebao. Also I don't think Tunze can simply patent oval shaped pump.
I think people who are saying they wouldn't spend XXX million dollars on a Ecotech pump are also kinda irrational. Jebao and Tunze do not offer critical tested OEM backup battery systems with graceful failure and Ecotech doesn't offer a pump you can point. Both features are critical to me so that is why I have both a MP40wes, MP10es, and two WP-25s in my tanks.
A lot of people here lost a lot of livestock and wiped out tanks during Hurricane Sandy when the power went out an unprecedented 5-6 days in the tri-state area, even in Manhattan! A lot of that could have been avoided if there were battery backups for pumps.
As far as naming goes, it might be a cultural thing. In Western culture, you honor your ancestors by naming your children after them. There might be something similar going on here.

There a couple of people who have posted modified battery backups for the Jebao pumps.
There is a version that uses a modified Tunze Safety Connector to power them.
As far as them lasting the WP-40 have been out for several months and they seem to be going pretty strong. I admit that a multy year test would be great, but they just haven't been out that long yet.

I wouldn't feel comfortable having my backup be something that was hacked together. Half the point of the backup is to make me feel good and I just wouldn't with a car battery wiring everywhere with electrical tape solution.
I would happily pay $150 for a good solution from Jebao where the pumps go into low power mode and the battery is well tested and safe.

Just put in a whole house generator that is what I did.Then there is no need for a battery backup. LOL!
I am not sure how long the 60 has been available not real long I am thinking. I don't know anyone that has one yet. I actually looked on fish street last night and couldn't find it so I sent them an email asking when it was going to be available and they sent me a link to buy one, said they had them in stock. I have 2 - 40s they are better than the koralias and the mp-40 I have. Now as far as longevity that has yet to be seen.

I wonder if you could switch the shroud of the wp60 with the wp40 to get the wider flow. from the pics it looks like the pump is the same size just a wider nozzel on the shroud.

I don't believe they are actually released yet.
Here is a link to a video that has been released of it.
It is kind of noisy, but you can't tell how much is that atmosphere it is in.
