That's a pretty reasonable sentiment IMO Steve. But with your additional Blueline link I think it kind of puts the last nail in the coffin. Does in my mind anyway - seems that PS1/T1 and PS3/T3 are the pressure rated pumps.
That said, Bayside clearly is not manufacturing these pumps, just branding them, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Poseidon. It's warming up here, so maybe I can do that temp test this week.
And another important tidbit... both Marine Depot and Champion Lighting list their pumps as including a mounting bracket. I did not get a bracket with either one - and BOY does it need one. There are screw mount holes on the pump housing itself. But those mounting brackets in the pictures would have really come in handy. They are wicked quiet, but each one took another $25 worth of sorbothane mounting grommets to dampen the vibration, and brackets would have made that job easier.
