Max S-500 return pump replacement options?

[CamKite]

Hi all,
I've had my 500 for 6 months now and all going great!!
I am looking at buying a back up return pump. Was actually thinking of getting something quieter than the stock one. Was going to take the stock out to keep as the "back up"
What options do I have or what have you used?
Probably would spend up to $500 Aus dollars.
Appreciate all feed back.

I downgraded my S Series 500 pump to the pump used on the S 400. Mine runs quiet as a mouse now, just takes a while to sort out the sweet spot where you get zero vibration. I sit mine on a mat and can't hear it at all.

The S 400 works more than adequately for the S 500.
