It's TOTAL junk. Worse than the cheapos on ebay. I still have one - but it's kind of like the story of "my grandfathere's axe" - you know, where the handle has been replaced 3x and the head 2x. ...

The 3/4" gives you about twice the volume (PI R2, remember?). As your plumbing will likely have elbows in it, and they substantially lower the flow volume, yes, you WILL benefit from 3/4"...

I've had a 6000 running for over a year and a half. No restart problems, and I purposely turn it off/on a couple times a day. It IS pretty quiet.
