Well,

That save's me a few bucks anyway. Really I was only after horsepower but checking with my brainiac friend here confirms what Tech Inspector said. Same amount of energy either way.

Rats, I thought i'd get some cheap HP and have a nice shiney chrome plate where the pump usta be.

But i'm sure glad I don't hafta shell out $$ for something I don't need. Besides, I don't trust electric anyway.
Thanks!
