New gen Reef Octopus skimmer pumps any good?

Are the latest generation of RO dc pumps any good? They were supposed to have moved away from the jebaos about a year ago, but I'm not seeing much about the reliability of the new ones like this:

Possibly looking at an ro skimmer, but don't want to end up with a problematic dc pump (which I don't even want to begin with).

Thanks in advance

Using the 5500s.

One on a DCS300 and one on a Regal 300SSS.

Can never get the Regal tuned, even bumped up the power supply and got the new controller. Now running at 70 watts vs 50.

The DCS300 is solid though.
