I have the MD-15R, great pump and it only consumes 31W, only 3 more than the 1250...
I'd like to know where you get the "31W" from. If you go HERE and then use the drop down menu to see "Polypro Curves & Specs" you can see they rate it as .82 Amps. Maybe they have a typo on their page, I dunno. But that one spec really jumped out at me. All the other specs look nice to me, specially in relation to the size of the pump. Just trying to get a bit of clarification before buying one.
peace.

edit: something stranger, if you hit the Metric button for specs it lists the MotorOutput(Watts) as 10W for the 15 series and 20W for the 20 series pumps. If its drawing that much power (.82A) and only converting 10W to motor power, it seems like there would be a buncha heat. Is yours hot when you touch it? I seem to be getting more confused instead of less 8/
