Mp40w modes and value

[Mmiller40gt]

Someone is offering me a mp40w not ES. With shaft, prop, bearing, washer replaced recently. What modes does it have? What's a good used value? I don't wanna over pay. I know it's 100$ to upgrade it to the ES. For 450ish I can buy an new ES version

All opinions appreciated. Thanks in advance

I have a w and a wes. Paid $325 for the w. The es only has one extra mode which imo isnt worth the extra money. Only reason i got an es was cuz i jumped on a good deal here on RC. Both have continuous, reef crest, lagoon, short pulse, long pulse, feed mode, battery backup. The es adds nutrient mode.

nutrient export mode is great. imo its one of the best modes to use when cleaning your tank. i personally dont like buying used stuff since you will never know what type of wear and tear its been through; has it been dropped?, has it been cleaned regularly? (once a month), etc. how much is he selling it to you for?

200$

I purchased it today. It moves some water thats for sure. A little louder than I expected but I wont be able to hear it with lights on. Worth 200$, I could not justify 460$ for a new one.

Orange is reef crest and lagoon. I think NM is purple.

Reef crest and lagoon is yellow.
NM is purple.

I stand corrected. I was thinking about my slave pump. Its orange.
