I am happy with my 6045 too. Skydancer's comment was made long time ago so it could not have been an insult to you since you only bought yours a month and half ago.
The point to be made is in the early days when we had just a few 6025s around, even fewer were the 6045s, when we discovered that the 6045 was not pumping out 1189 gph rather 950 gph, and 6025 was not pumping 660 gph rather 770 gph, and after some mods both 6025 and 6045 were pumping the same 1250 gph, and with the stopper mod on the 6025, it was identical to 6045 in any way you saw it, so yes spending the extra $30 did not seem a smart move, and many 6045 owners felt the same way.
Only recently we discovered some strength and benefit of the 6045. And I just did not think it was a wise thing for dga to bring back a very old post trying to make a point of how he knew how much benefit his 6045 has, because I know for a fact he just bought his 6045 very recently, after reading all the information in this thread, most of which the result of hard work by people like skydancer, and then to use one of his earlier comments to show off your own 6045 purchase? How did you see that other than being a cheap shot?
Some of the strength of the 6045 were discovered purely by chance, my guess is had I not brought up such points about the 6045, dga would not have even realized that and probably would have come here to complain how he was cheated by Tunze.
Another thing to be said is if you don't mind doing the stopper mod for your 6025 (which is more complicated than the flow mods), a modded 6025 is still the best stream pump out there with the best value, no question about that.
