I found a deal on one and Im seriously thinking about grabbing it...
Its either that, or a D5. Noise doesnt bother me....
 
Well I mean compared to like a D5?
Sorry shoulda posted that as well, Ive been awake for over 24hrs....:beer:
 
D5 is a better choice... less heat, smaller and quieter. I ran an MD-15 for 2 years. Make no mistake it is a great pump, but I would use the D5 over it.

Ya kinda have to check the PQ curves and the heat dump data for a definitive answer.
Be aware that Iwakis can come with US motors (WMD series) or, the much prefrrerd, quieter/cooler, Japanese motors (MD series). Actually, the MD20RZT, high pressure Iwakies are the preferred ones.
