Anyone know if this is true?

Well, Fluval especially, like to show off their super-strong pumps, they advertise the FX6 pushing about 3x what it actually does with media.
I guess it's just a marketing trick that they can use, it's not them lying, it's you not looking properly.
Anyhow, from what I know, Eheim and Fluval both have their own claims to fame.
Eheim has a far superior media capacity, ie, they can carry a lot of media.
Also I'd say that they're the best built canister out there.
Fluval has a far stronger pump, even with the true output value it is much stronger and faster than any other brand.
This is why a lot of people use them in Cichlid tanks, they have a VERY strong input, they can draw debris from an unbelievable distance. And they have that high flow rate that Cichlids love.
In my opinion, if you're getting a canister, make it one of these two.
There are far too many horror stories about other cheaper brands such as Sun Sun and Aquaclear.
