Here is link to another manufacturer http://www.varnaproducts.com/EP-4_Pump.php
Someone did call them to find out the price and price was $240 if my memory still intact.Everything what is related with avia is expensive due to FAA certification requirements. Varna pump has check valve integrated don't have to worry about.

I called Varna, it was over $600(I think $685) and they could give us 20% discount if we ordered 10 of them. It is rated 1.75gpm @ 60psi. Their main claim with their pump is quiet operation.

The $250 unit was from a motorcycle racing store and is rated 2.0gpm https://www.rbracing-rsr.com/eatshit.htm

The $300 one that airplanes use is rated 3gpm @ 60psi
$300 GP301-12 – 12 VDC / 10 AMP / 60 PSI / 3 GPM – 11.4 LPM

To be fair, the rated flow of the pumps doesn't specify the Viscosity or Temperature so it is hard to compare which moves more oil.
