Seems like your legs and feet would get really tired at 10 gallons per minute!

Have you read or watched the Taco videos on variable speed circs?  They will maintain a pretty good set point or deltaT. I've had a few that were noisy er than others, but I think it was the install as well.

I like them, and the VDT series, they have a lot more applications than variable, and DT.  There's boiler protection, injection monitoring, and mixing

Up to 16 GPM. That's 160kbtu/hr. I wouldn't consider it low.
