Thank you all for your replies. I have this set up in our rentals and so far the complaint has been that it is contributing to a high electric bill (from one client).
I think we've been able to convince them that rising rates are the culprit and not the pump. However, I thought I'd research more to determine if the pump set up is inherently inefficient.
Based on this, it looks like the main issues are noise, the lack of residual pressure in the event of a power outage, and (in the case of the Grundfos) failure of the capacitor and general failures.
Your feedback will influence what we install in the future. Once again - mahalo!
