Bill Cody do you or anyone else know the difference between the Gast model 0823 and 1023 other than the cfm difference? For some reason I can buy the 1023 (10 cfm) for less money than the 0823 (8 cfm). If they are the same build quality with the same expected life it is a no brainer for me to go to the 1023. But I have found several places where the 1023 is either no more expensive or actually cheaper than the 0823. This makes me wonder if the 0823 doesn't have some special feature (I have heard reference to nickel lining in some vane pumps for example) that makes it a longer life pump.

I can not tell from the Gast site where they list specifications.

I'm pretty sure I want the 1023 but do not want to order it and later find out the 0823 is a much better/longer life pump. I have ask the question via email to one of the potential purchase sources and if I find out anything from them I will add it here.
