List price difference is about $120. I don't know what price you would be paying for it. A good inline check valve is probably $40+ but since you have such a long lineset that is not going up to the roof, you might be able to do away with a check valve altogether. You can use a heat trap to prevent any unwanted fluid movement.

As much as i like the 3 speed 26-99, it is too high an amperage for the variable speed controllers where the 15-100 will work with the RESOL controller so it looks like it is a good fit.
