Default Help choosing a pump for my new pond....

I am in the process of building a pond about 1500 gallons.

I currently have two submersible pumps. 1 535 gph beckett, 1 200 gph
(not sure)

My wife wants a waterfall probably about 2 ft high..


I am trying to understand the Pluses and Minuses of a normal pond pump
vs a waterfall pump...

I know one thing to keep in mind is the max lift..

But when I compare prices the Waterfall pumps seem to be cheaper..

EX..

Pond pump 500 GPH $89.99 and a waterfall pump 2000 GPH $119.99

So what I am wondering is... If a 2000 GPH waterfall pump is only
$30 more.. Than why not go with that..
