Comparable Wheel Comparison/Reviews to Pacifica GT400
Pacifica GT800 - (3 out of 5 stars) - Similar form factor as Brent C.  Very smooth aluminum pedal.  Has a 1.0 HP belt driven motor and a steel frame with plastic table cover and drip edge (similar to Brent C).  The wheel head is 1" smaller at 13" but it is also aluminum.  The Pacifica is a good, stable, and quiet machine.

Brent Model C - (5 out of 5 stars) - Traditional 3 legged design with solid steel construction and ample plastic covered drip surfaces.  Industry leading splash pan simply will not leak.  Modular control allows for reversal at the flip of a switch.  V-belt drive with automatic tensioner keeps eliminates belt play.  14 " cast aluminum wheel head on double row ball bearings is 1" larger than that of Pacifica wheels.  Large, heavy duty DC motor and control.  A solid, quiet, and reliable wheel with a long heritage of quality and performance.

Shimpo VL Whisper - (3 out of 5 stars) - Similar form factor to the Pacifica, though slightly shorter.  Wheel head is 14" as on Brent C.  The VL Whisper uses a direct drive DC motor.  The Pacifica uses a belt driven DC motor.   Both the Pacifica and the Shimpo have speed reversing switches and are very quiet.  Both have cast aluminum pedals.
