Abner,
For the pictures you poster, I have made a visual estimation of the pump motor rating:
60W.......... Snow Performance and Coolingmist.
100W ....... Alkycontrol
150W ....... Aquamist (ignore the demand switch dimension on the front).
more information added to your collections:

Abner,
Those images are great, I have not seen the pumps put side by side. I only compare them on technical drawings, not as graphical.
It appeared most "pump-speed" progressive system uses a 60W pump.

If anyone would ever test a 150 W pump and a 60W pump side by side under high pressure for an extended period of time you would see in a methanol/water injection application the larger pump has absolutely zero advantage. Its over kill. You can run the 60 W pump at full dutycyle for 30 minutes straight and the cover will just begin to get warm. Some commented earlier that the 150 W pump is more quiet, I have tested both side by side and in my tests the 60W pump is alot more quiet, however neither pump is loud.
We chose the 60 W pump because in a progressive application will have a better response time than the the 100 or 150 W pump. We have every shurflo pump at our shop and have tested all of them.
The only way the 150 W pump would make more sense is if the pumps were running continously.
Perhaps those that have commented about how hot the 60W pump runs vs the 150 should produce data to back it up and then show how that will make a difference in an application such as methanol injection that has such low usage.
