ok, then in theory (please tell me if I am wrong as I often am in mechanical things)
I should get BETTER flow from two mag 9's than with the little giant, especially as on the little giant, it had to be T'd to supply water to both sides....correct?

Yeah that makes perfect sense. I would think you'd be double your current flow.

If it were me I would determine my actual flow from the little giant and referencing the head height chart for your little giant, find a mag drive (maybe it is the 9...) that pumps the same flow for whatever your head height is.
