I tend to to agree with you now after I went through this. Dc pumps are not worth the money honestly.
Thay being said, my RD80 is pushing steady 1300gph on the same plumbing, so I am ol with the loc lines.
I would say no harm with loc line as long as you get a pump than can handle the pressure. AC pumps dp fantastic job there, and if you want DC oump pay attention to the real flow given they are all expensive any way.
I though I was saving 200$ by going vectra not RD I now realized I just wanted 500$ lol.
